Ankurmawanda,
A script tag with src="..." cannot also contain its own code. You need a separate script tag.

<script type="text/javascript" src="md5.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function crypt()
{ 
document.form1.password.value = calcMD5(document.form1.password.value);
}
</script>

Then it should work but you won't see it happen because the form will be submitted and the page will refresh.

If you want to see the result of the md5 transform then you need to do things slightly differently:

<form name="form1" action="ddoregisters.jsp" method="post" onsubmit="return crypt();">


function crypt()
{ 
  document.form1.password.value = calcMD5(document.form1.password.value);
  return false;//return true to all ow the form to submit ; false to suppress form submission
}
