Well according to our rules:

"These are not hacker boards so hacker related posts will be promptly deleted or moderated."

So we are not going to help you with cracking a password. The only reason that I think of for an immediate need to know would be to give the password to another user. If that is the case, you could set up an equivalent account. Different uname name and password. Same uid, gid, home directory and shell.

ldapsetpasswd

ldapsetpasswd(1)					      General Commands Manual						  ldapsetpasswd(1)

NAME

       ldapsetpasswd - modifies a POSIX user account's password in LDAP.

SYNOPSIS

       ldapsetpasswd <username|uid> [encodedpassword]

OPTIONS

       <username | uid>
	      The name or uid of the user whose password has to be modified.

       [encoded password]
	      If  specified  this  way, the password will be copied verbatim into the LDAP directory. If not specified, you will be prompted for a
	      password that will be changed using the ldappasswd(1) command.

SEE ALSO

       ldapfinger(1), ldapid(1), ldapgid(1), ldapscripts(5).

AVAILABILITY

       The ldapscripts are provided under the GNU General Public License v2 (see COPYING for more details).  The latest version of the ldapscripts
       is available on : http://contribs.martymac.org

LIMITATIONS

       When  used  interactively, passwords generated with this command are propagated with the ldappasswd(1) command.	Thus, the resulting format
       depends on the 'password-hash' option of your server's slapd.conf(5) file.

       You can always force an encoded password (using the hash format of your choice) by specifying it on the command line.

BUGS

       No bug known.
