There are several different types of greetings depending on the time of day just like in English; however the most common/known for English speaker would be "Ko-n-ni-chi-wa" for "hello" which can be used anytime of the day, and "Ha-ji-me-ma-shi-ta" would be the equivalent of "nice to meet you." Because this is romanized the pronunciations would be slightly different, for example, hello would be pronounced as ko-n-nee-chee-wa and nice to meet you would be pronounced as ha-jee (just like saying the letter "g")-may-ma-she-ta.

I am not Japanese nor do I speak the language fluently, but have just picked up a few words and phrases over the years as a hobby. So, hopefully, this will help in answering your question.
