I seen the forum use GT->MD5 to encrypt the user password, And encrypted password have a prefix $GT$.

Can it convert to standard MD5?

No, like apache (which uses $apr1$) the GT MD5 passwords are not compatible with any other MD5 encrypted passwords (e.g. unix, which uses $1$, or apache, which uses $apr1$).
