Thank you Steve, as you said, /etc/shadow doesn't have $1$ or $6$. It contains few alphabets followed by colon and numbers (sorry I'm new to linux).
I changed the password using passwd but still /etc/shadow contains the same characters. (alphabets and numbers). -- Ubuntu 8.10 Password Bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322604 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
