It looks like your /etc/shadow file is not using crypt to store the
passwords on that system.

from man shadow
       The password field must be filled. The encrypted password consists of
       13 to 24 characters from the 64 character alphabet a thru z, A thru Z,
       0 thru 9, \. and /. Optionally it can start with a "$" character. This
       means the encrypted password was generated using another (not DES)
       algorithm. For example if it starts with "$1$" it means the MD5-based
       algorithm was used.
