[Solved] What is the type of this encrypted password? [closed]

Question

Unless there is some indicator in your string of what kind of string it is, we may not be able to help. It looks too long for MD5 (34 instead of 32), but it could be MD5 and two characters of checksum.

Some hashing algorithms work by applying a mix of algorithms, or the same algorithm several times, to make brute-force searching harder.

Note that while encryption can be reversed, it is either hard or impossible to reverse a hash, depending on the computational complexity of building your own rainbow tables. Thus, MD5 is not impossible, and Bcrypt with sufficient rounds is so complex that it can be called impossible for all intents and purposes.

Your best bet is to look at the code that created it and figure it out from there.
