What exactly are you trying to do with the sed command?
If you are storing the passwords, you should consider hashing them and store the hashes instead (in which case you cannot retrieve them, you'll need to reset them).

HASHALOT(1)						      General Commands Manual						       HASHALOT(1)

NAME
hashalot - read a passphrase and print a hash SYNOPSIS
hashalot [ -t secs ] [ -s SALT ] [ -x ] [ -n #BYTES ] [ -C itercountk ] HASHTYPE HASHTYPE [ -t secs ] [ -s SALT ] [ -x ] [ -n #BYTES ] [ -C itercountk ] DESCRIPTION
hashalot is a small tool that reads a passphrase from standard input, hashes it using the given hash type, and prints the result to stan- dard output. Supported values for HASHTYPE: ripemd160 rmd160 rmd160compat sha256 sha384 sha512 OPTIONS
The option -s SALT specifies an initialization vector to the hashing algorithm. You need this if you want to prevent identical passwords to map to identical hashes, which is a security risk. If the -x option is given then the hash will be printed as a string of hexadecimal digits. The -n option can be used to limit (or increase) the number of bytes output. The default is as appropriate for the specified hash algo- rithm: 20 bytes for RIPEMD160, 32 bytes for SHA256, etc. The default for the "rmd160compat" hash is 16 bytes, for compatibility with the old kerneli.org utilities. The -t option specifies a timeout for reading the passphrase from the terminal. The -C option specifies that the hashed password has to be encrypted itercountk thousand times using AES-256. Use for compatability with loop-AES. The options -t and -C are currently SUSE specific AUTHOR
