in the java version , the password is generated by inverse the imie number , then md5 or that inverse , then the function above .
any other question ?

Yes, thats how the password is generated. (or it should be, I didn't look at it that close)

The question at the moment is, if there is also an way to calculate the registration-code you get via the API-Call/SMS and you need to register an account.
I personally don't think we would need to know the algorithm (if there is one) because the official clients also seem to ask the code via the API and we would just stand out when we don't do (and it would be easy to prevent registration from our client when they just save which number asked for the code and just letting this numbers register...)
