there are no stupid questions at all, maybe some answers are...

I think you do not need this line for the encryption (better to say: the
check against the hash) is done in the background automaticaly

What I wanted to say is the password stored in the horde_users table needs
to be md5'd. The way you do this belongs from your situation. I use phpmyadmin
(what I like very much) - just type in the password and select md5 as
function. Certainly there is a way to do this from the console, too (something like
INSERT.... password md5('your_password') or so), but I am not so familiar to
the mysql console yet. You will find some hints in the mysql documentation
or in the horde mailing list archive (I am sure you will need to go back not
farer than two weeks).

Last, using the latest horde from CVS, with HEAD, you might be able to log
in as admin and setup some users from within horde - but I haven't proved this
yet.

Feel free to test around and share your experiences.

Sebastian
