For 4.2, the use of salts when generating password hashes would likely cause problems for the proposed approach. Consider adjusting Input 2 to be the actual default passwords, rather than password hashes for those passwords. Then, the Operations could be modified slightly so that the default passwords are hashed in accordance with the appropriate salting procedures for the system in question before making the comparisons to the actual password hashes on the system.
