somewhere you must be setting the password something like this in local.conf

EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS += "\
    useradd admin; \
    usermod -p 'XXXXXX' admin; \
"

Now how you generate the password could be done separately via

something like ( for setting password to me 'test' )

python3 -c 'import crypt; print(crypt.crypt("test",
crypt.mksalt(crypt.METHOD_SHA256)))'

Replace XXXXXX with the output of the above cmd

aside from this its perhaps better to use sha512 than sha256
