Answer 1

The short answer is yes, you can do that. What you need to do is find the functions in those programs that create users and handle logins, and remove the parts that hash the passwords. Most likely, these are done as MD5 hashes.

For WordPress, the relevant functions are wp_login, wp_update_user and wp_create_user. I'm not sure about MyBB, I've never used it.
