First of all, well done for using the most recent version of your Joomla series, doesn't happen a lot. Please do consider upgrading to Joomla 2.5+ as 1.5 has security issues and is not supported anymore ;)

I'm not sure about older versions but 1.5+ uses MD5 and Salting.

It's stored in the database like so: 

{hash}:{salt}

and can be generated like so:

md5( $password.$salt );

To get a an example of how the password is generated, have a look here

Hope this helps
