If you are using md5 password hashing for master.passwd then you can use the command: # md5 -s "mypassword" This should show you what the string ``mypassword'' will hash to using md5. However, the other options are des and blf (blowfish). To see which you are using check the paramter passwd_format in /etc/login.conf. I don't know what you would use to figure the others, at least not through bash.
