If you are seeing "No password hashes" then it is because it could not
find any hashes it knew about.
john.c
if (!database.password_count) {
log_discard();
printf("No password hashes %s (see FAQ)\n",
total ? "left to crack" : "loaded");
If you are seeing something like:
root:NO PASSWORD
then I think you are seeing:
loader.c
if (!*ciphertext) {
found = 1;
if (show) printf("%s%cNO PASSWORD", login,
db->options->field_sep_char);
db->guess_count++;
which means that account did not have a password associated with it in
the password file.
root::0:0:root user:/root:/bin/sh
should trigger that.
