Thank you for the reply. How i can use AES but the key that is used to encrypt and decrypt will be always the same for a user?
Thank you very much

What you want is a one way hash rather than encryption, decryption. You store the hashed password in the database. When you get the password at login time, you hash it and compare it to the version stored in the database. There is absolutely no way to derive the real password from the persisted version.
This is very easy. Use the java.security.MessageDigest class, http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/security/MessageDigest.html. It doesn't really matter which algorithm you choose, MD5 or SHA, but there's plenty of documents on Google comparing the two.
