What to do when creating a new user from PHPRuner/ASPRunner.NET ends up with an empty password field

When you setup Dynamic Permisions in PHPRunner or ASPRunner.NET, you have an option to create an admin user. Sometimes, when password encryption is enabled, you may end up with a new user in the database that has their password field empty.

Usually this happens when something prevents PHPRunner/ASPRunner.NET from properly encrypting the password. It launches an external EXE file to create the password hash and, maybe, it is getting blocked by your antivirus or something similar is happening there. There are a couple of workarounds are available.

1. Enable Registration page. Register a new account and then launch PHPRunner again and select this existing user as an admin.

   
   

2. Use any of the online BCRYPT generators to encrypt your password and insert in manually into the database. You can use this one for instance: https://bcrypt-generator.com/
