OK I get it now. So if they see the "5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99" hash they can look that up in their rainbow dictionary and see that the password "password" works out to the same hash. But if you used a password that's not quite that easy to guess it will be stored as some uncommon, hard-to-work-out hash.
Well, that's why I generally use passwords which mean something to me but not really the general public. Plus I combine passwords while separating them with random punctuation characters as well as some numbers. Plus I never use the same password twice, and try to remember to change them every so often.
