Sure it does, however it appears that you've replaced some characters
before posting in here.  Also, the asterisk before this string is not a
part of the hash.  It may mean a locked account or it may be a part of
the binary file format.

It might be the easiest to have the system do this for you.  Please try
this Perl one-liner (invoke it as root):

	perl -e 'print "$n:$p:$u:$g:$f:$d:$s\n" while ($n,$p,$u,$g,$q,$c,$f,$d,$s) = getpwent()'
