Solved it (looking in users_reg.inc). It generates a 9-character string applying MD5 to a random string, then concatenates the salt with the SHA-1 of the plain text, then applies SHA-1 again to the salt + SHA-1 passwd to get the password that is stored in the database. To change it in the database you can set the salt to an arbitrary string of length 9, calculate the SHA-1 of the password you want to set, then concatenate the salt with the result of the SHA-1 and then calculate the SHA-1 of this and update the database with the result.
