Hello, Mike;
If you have cygwin or a *NIX system available:
"grep (username) (filename)"
Or, to make it easier;
Create a file containing the following one line and put it in the same
directory as a copy of the pwdump file you want to search through:
grep $1 <pwdump filename> >> output.txt
Save it, make it executable (with "chmod 700 <filename>"), and run it
with the username. It will search for the line with that username and
hash and add it to a new line of the output file.
(assuming it's saved as "example" and username we want is anything
starting with "1")

$ ./example 1
[Administrator@belthaserv:~]
$ cat output.txt
123
12

[Administrator@belthaserv:~]
$ ./example 1
[Administrator@belthaserv:~]
$ cat output.txt
123
