UPDATE testing SET password = MD5('Manojano234')
This query was working fine but i need to add plain text also

you NEVER, EVER want to store plain text passwords. It's an invitation to getting your users' accounts stolen, and most people use the same username and password in a lot of places...

You also NEVER, EVER, want to use MD5 as it's not secure at all.
https://crackstation.net/hashing-security.htm read this as to why.

If you want to verify the password user entered, simply rehash the plain text password using the same method you do when you save the password into the database. It should be equal. Thus, you DO NOT need to save plain text password. If a user calls for "Forget Password" force the user to RESET the password instead.
