Answer 1

Actually i used md5's digest method which returned me array of byte which i want to convert into a BigInteger.

You can use new BigInteger(byte[]).

However, it should be noted that the MD5 hash is not really an integer in any useful sense. It is really just a binary bit pattern.

I guess you are just doing this so that you can print or order the MD5 hashes. But there are less memory hungry ways of accomplishing both tasks.
