I think that if you respect the fields order and values for
master.password, the hash will work fine.
See "man 5 master.password", and if you need to add another algorithm
see "man 3 crytp" to understand in witch algorithm you have hashed the
old passwords (for example, if the hash begins with $1$ is in MD5)
