Hello! I would request you to please use plaintext email. I have
difficulty parsing HTML :(. To answer your question, have a look at
your unshadowed file.

This is the usual format

ritesh:$6$AAABABABABA$HASHSHASHSHSAHSHSHAS:1000:1000:Ritesh
Sinha,,,:/home/ritesh <snip>

The first field is the user id, the next field tells us that $6$ is
the hashing algorithm used (SHA 512 from the docs). Also, the next
interesting part in the second colon delimited field is $ABABABABA$
which is the salt. The rest of it is your salty, delicious hashed
password.

John does not support SHA 512 hashes, hence you have that error. You
haven't done anything wrong while compiling etc (as far as I can
tell).

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Ritesh
