<user><![CDATA[1]]></user>
<password><![CDATA[123]]></password>
Maybe something like this ?

Code:
$
$ # check the contents of the file tj.txt
$
$ cat tj.txt
login pwd
1 123
2 234
3 345
4 456
5 567
$
$ # now run the awk script that does the transformation
$
$ awk '!/^login/ { printf("<RDID><![CDATA[%s]]></RDID>\n",$1)
>                  printf("<user><![CDATA[%s]]></user>\n",$1)
>                  printf("<password><![CDATA[%s]]></password>\n\n",$2)
>                }' tj.txt
<RDID><![CDATA[1]]></RDID>
<user><![CDATA[1]]></user>
<password><![CDATA[123]]></password>
 
<RDID><![CDATA[2]]></RDID>
<user><![CDATA[2]]></user>
<password><![CDATA[234]]></password>
 
<RDID><![CDATA[3]]></RDID>
<user><![CDATA[3]]></user>
<password><![CDATA[345]]></password>
 
<RDID><![CDATA[4]]></RDID>
<user><![CDATA[4]]></user>
<password><![CDATA[456]]></password>
 
<RDID><![CDATA[5]]></RDID>
<user><![CDATA[5]]></user>
<password><![CDATA[567]]></password>
$
$

You may redirect the output of the awk script to a file.
