Answer 1

Surround your code with a
try{
//Insert date here
catch(Exception e){
//handle exceptions here
e.printStackTrace();
Who says he didn't already?
Try this:
java.util.Date d=new java.util.Date();
>
Preparestatement psmt;
psmt.setDate(8, new
java.sql.Date(d.getTime()));This is correct, but can be condensed (if you want)
psmt.setDate(8, new java.sql.Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()));

It's good idea to use the JDBC escape function
instead of using a specific DBMS function. This way,
your code will be portable.
sql = "INSERT INTO USERS VALUES("
+ "'" + userName + "'" + ","
+ "'" + userPw   + "'" + ","
+ "  {fn now() }  )"; e Real's How To

And this is only marginally applicable.  If he wishes to use the same statement for the current date, as well as other dates, he cannot make use of this.  Of course, I don't really know if I would trust or recommend a tutorial site that advocates building statements that are screaming for injection attack attempts.
Edit:  Too slow by a mile!
