The MySQL 'password' function at http://mysql.com would work.
For something that is portable to non MySQL systems, you can use http://php.net/crypt
You should not use the MySQL PASSWORD() function within your own applications. MD5() is a good alternative as it's implemented in many programs including PHP and MySQL.
Other suggestions were good, though. :)
