Password encryption is essential to store user credentials stored in a database securely. Without password encryption, anyone accessing a user database on a company's servers (including hackers) could easily view any stored passwords.
Password Encryption: How Do Password Encryption Methods Work? Encryption scrambles your password so it's unreadable and/or unusable by hackers. That simple step protects your password while it's sitting in a server, and it offers more protection as your password zooms across the internet.
Typical workflow would involve generating a salt value and using that to hash the password and then storing them both in the row. This is documented in detail in many places and is easily searched.
If you truly just want a way to quickly hash or encrypt without salt take a look at FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile
