I have one password to encrypt and decrypt. Old c++ code used obtained the
default CryptoServiceProvider to do this. I have written C#2005 code to
encrypt and decrypt a string(DES-CSP), but I don't see how to use the default
provider so that previuosly encrypted passwords will be readable. Can anyone
point me to a code sample?

What does the "old C++ code" look like? While it may be that it uses a
default service provider, it still needs to know what particular algorithm
set it uses. Once you know that, you can select the appropriate matching
service provider in .NET.
