Here are example how to generate MD5 ****es for a String object or byte array.

//The three lines below showing how to use MD5calculator object

String myText = "Give me the MD5 ****"; //input

String ****= MD5calculator.getInsance().getHash(myText); //generate the ****

System.out.println(****); //print out the result

//the MD5 calculator class
