2.5.20 passwords not saving with md5:salt format - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support
i updated 2.5.20. after update, noticed no longer log in "admin". had alternative super user account set still worked fine used one. after logging in using alternative super user account, tried change password of admin account , appeared update should when try log in using new password, 500 - internal server error. additionally, can't create new user accounts or same 500 error when trying log in. checked folder permissions correct, ensured database table structure date, , sure, ran "fix" tool. nothing.
i had few mins explore further today phpmyadmin'd sql check out users tables see if jumped out @ me. sure enough, looks hashed/encrypted passwords of admin account , new account set seemed missing half encryption. know it's supposed have md5 encrypted password : (colon) followed "salted" joomla system-generated hash. colon , joomla generated half missing! double checked string there against md5 encrypter , wrong too! they're starting "$p$d" random string of 30 more characters 34 characters total include other special characters that, apart colon, i've never seen used. whatever being inserted password table not normal md5:salt format. , authentication form seems still looking md5:salt format.
i found few websites (like one: http://www.passwordtool.hu/) create md5:salt encrypted hash , tested inserting directly sql , worked great! once override poorly formed joomla-generated hash, have no issues logging in admin or new accounts. not working correctly , pain every time.
has joomla changed encryption format other md5:salt , maybe login , authentication scripts aren't jibing user accounts yet? else experiencing similar? or better, have solution?

the fact you're seeing internal server error means error causing whole thing. check apache error log , see have there (the error must logged there).
