Here is the MSDN documentation for this method.
It produces a hash password suitable for storing in a configuration file based on the specified password and hash algorithm.

What does this mean??

It means you lifted some garbage code from somewhere. That code is so vulnerable to SQL Injection attacks it's just silly.

Also, MD5 is considered very broken and shouldn't be used to hash passwords.

Solution 2

You've really already asked this question (hence the one vote for repeating yourself).

The code above appears to be sql for inserting a new user into a user table. It is poorly constructed - should be a call to a stored procedure passing the values as parameters.
