It is hashed with a solid hashing schema,, unless  the last password change was over 10 years ago...

Most dockers have NO concept of logging in, or ssh access etc. the service are not there.
some dockers are created in a way that allows   docker exec /bin/sh.....    from a host command line with sufficient privileges or access rights.
and even that is not possible in dockers.

LXD might provide a more "lightweight" VM experience.

Docker is a computer program used to run software packages called containers in an operating-system-level virtualization process called containerization. It’s developed by Docker, Inc. and was first released in 2013.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

LXC is an operating system-level virtualization method for running multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) on a single control host. LXC provides operating system-level virtualization by providing a virtual environment that has its own process and network space. LXC relies on the Linux kernel cgroups functionality. LXC is similar to other OS-level virtualization technologies on Linux such as OpenVZ and Linux-VServer, as well as those on other operating systems such as FreeBSD.
