Administration pages! Need help!

Hi

I've created a registration page with security assist where a user can apply for membership and when done an email is sent to me for confirmation. The user only fills in his personal data like email, name, address etc. No username or password. This data is inserted correctly into my mysql database users table leaving the password and username field blank as wanted. I have initially set password field with SHA1 encryption when created all the pages from wizard in Securityassist. Now I have also created a set of admin pages with Dataassist. There I want to be able to update the record for the user and insert a username which I choose and a temporary password that I want to be sent to the user by email when I confirm on change in update file. The temp password which I insert should be encrypted with SHA1. When the user recieves his username and temp password by email he/she should be able to login and change only the temporary password to his/her choice from the update page initially created with Security Assist wizard. The registration process with confirmation mail sent to user works fine. How do I accomplish the update/insert of username and password (SAH1 encryption) from the admin pages when a new user is inserted in users table. Also how can I implement that an email will be sent to the user, containing the username and password that I insert from admin update page? I really need help on this! Is there a guide available to show how to do this? Could someone please point me in the right direction in how to solve this!

Regards,
Martin Johannesson

Short explanation on what I want to accomplish:

This is the code present in the Update Record (users) server behaviour for the password field:

<?php echo ((isset($_POST["UserPassword"]))?$_POST["UserPassword"]:""); ?>

This field is empty from the start when a user is applying via a registration form and a record is inserted in mysql database tabel "users".
When I go to the update page created from Dataassist wizard I want to be able to insert a passowrd for the users record and SAH1 encrypt it on submit (Update record).
I also would like to have the created password (encrypted but show in plain text to user of course) sent to the user by email when I submit the change in update page.
