linux - use of mkpsswd --method=sha-512

Question

When the administrator of the server creates an account for me, he asked me to give him a password generated by

mkpsswd --method=sha-512 I entered the command, and then entered the password, for example password, the command returned a string like this:

$6$ylEGC3ML23ihHUO$3xm/JIPjZFapTh/CAj/kyYD7E0YCVf9dxPo0StxnGwiQ.if7lzYhX8TOUMpfFOVr1F5w9morpHJd8F5jBw3rs.

I sent the string to the administrator, he said he had created an account for me. But when I use the password to login my account, I was refused to login. since the password is false. Could anyone tell me why this happens?
