The password hashes are supposed to be difficult to reverse and with out 
reversing DG to rehash I think you're out of luck.  Perhaps if DG uses 
crypt(3) it wouldn't be too hard.

You might try john or another password cracking program, but check the 
docs to make sure it can handle your hash algorithm.
