As you mentioned your system would prevent the administrator from knowing
your
password, then the password has to be hashed already at the site, and
therefore the ha****ng has to be the the same in the form as on the site,
or
else you would always fail the login or the site has to spend long time
with
cracktools to be able to find out the password and then has it the way
it's
hashed on the site.
