CryptedPasswords are those encrypted using your system's crypt()
function from the C library. It does not support the mysql PASSWORD()
encrypted values.

Traditional crypt() uses 2-character "salt", new-style uses 4
(including the iteration count.)

Encrypt the values in your application using the crypt() function.
Perl supports it as well, if you're not using C/C++.
