Simple answer: you can't.

Fortunately, at least the format tends to be consistent, and the algorithm identified with the $1$ (MD5), as in your sample, is probably the most common one, although it may be the least secure.

For Linux distro I use $6$, I hoped that $1$ was working also on Windows (as you stated is the most common), but I made a wrong assumption

If you really want to set the user to a specific fixed password,

I have to, I need user to be in sync on more than one server. But probably the use of Active Directory as you suggested is a more suitable way

Thank you
