Different RT versions use differen algorithms to store passwords.

• >=3.4 - use MD5 hex encoded
• >=3.0 <3.4 - use MD5 Base64 encoded
• <3.0 - use crypt(and may be MD5 Base64 encoded)

All new versions support previouse variants for backward compatibility. NOTE that RT 3.4 upgrades old passwords when user logins.
