How to create this WordPress password using wordpress default functions?

Answer

Wordpress provides a default function wp_hash_password();

Example:

$password = 'admin';
$hash_password = wp_hash_password($password);
echo $hash_password;

To work this in PHP just load wp-load.php, So that you can use default wordpress functions.

Wordpress actually use Portable PHP password hashing framework. WP has this included in /wp-includes/class-phpass.php
