Yet somehow you have access to the password hash, but not physical
access to the server (or you'd reset the password already)?

You didn't need that.

This should work:
[List.External:xxxyyyxxx]
void filter()
{
word[5] = word[2];
word[4] = word[1];
word[3] = word[0];
word[0] = 'x';
word[1] = 'x';
word[2] = 'x';
word[6] = 'x';
word[7] = 'x';
word[8] = 'x';
word[9] = 0;
}
[Incremental:xxxyyyxxx]
File = $JOHN/digits.chr
MinLen = 3
MaxLen = 3
CharCount = 10
With the above in john.conf, you invoke John as follows:
john -i=xxxyyyxxx -e=xxxyyyxxx passwd
As an alternative to this, you can use the KnownForce external mode:
