Well, the username and password are the same, but the md5 is different. But
it doesn't seem to matter because either one works the same. The fact that
you can have 2 different md5's yet still have the same user name and
password and have logins work is what I found to be interesting.
But my original problem is solved in either case, so it doesn't really
matter to me. I just found it to be ... interesting.

The md5 will depend on both the actual password and the user's name
... does that help?
