I guess that pot file line is actually:
$LM$aad3b435b51404ee:
This means that the LM hash corresponds to an empty string, and got
"cracked" as such. That's because recent Windows systems don't use LM
hashes anymore, instead only using NTLM ones.
You may want to try:
john --format=nt crackthispw.txt
