Description of problem:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#rootpw

--iscrypted
"If this is present, the password argument is assumed to already be encrypted"

I'm missing information there what the encryption algorithm should be and how can I easily obtain such encrypted password (i.e. which tool can be used to produce it).
