    Isn't it base64 encoding?

    It doesn't return any legitimate string if used with base64_decode, so I doubt that's the only thing they did. However - if you have the asp-code, why not look there to see what kind of encryption they used? (If they used an encryption, that's bad practice, however - encryptions can be reversed - you don't want to have a reversible password-encryption stored - you want a one-way hash).
    Or, just null all the passwords, and provide users with a link, via email, to reset their passwords if they input their email for logging in.

    ^^ Depends on the nature of the site, but this is the way I would go. And definitely implement one way hashing.
