htpassword htaccess

my htaccess:
# .htaccess
AuthUserFile /home/etc/.pass
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Acces restreint"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

my htpassword:
user1:recksHX1tUaHA

what is the crypting algorithme here? and where is this algorithme defined
in apache????

I found some page to cript password but they return hexa cripted password
(md5 or crypt php functions).
Here my password is obviuosly not and hexa value.

thanks Davide for your answer.

In fact, I just take a job and i have to maintain an apache server.
The .htaccess/.htpassword works fine,
But i have to do a new one, with another user/pass, and i can't change the
password!!

the php script: <? echo crypt( $mypass ) ?> returns

$1$Fp/.qa3.$LhyJujc2pbUwa/U.XQDVc.
instead of:
recksHX1tUaHA

There is effectivly a "AddModule mod_auth.c" line in httpd.conf.

and i can access the command line. i try
man crypt
man passwd
man encrypt...

nothing seems to tell me how to create an encrypted password...
