Hi, If you do this kind of known plaintext activity then start by generating a dictionary mapping passwords to hashes. Start with single characters and work up.
Is the length of the crypt the same each time? Does the password length affect the length of the crypt? Does 'aaa' yield a similar crypt to 'aab'? Is there a maximum password length after which the password is truncated before being hashed (think Unix crypt)? At worst you can create a rainbow table for this implementation, assuming you can automate password generation.
