Your problem is a configuration error, and has nothing to do with passwords.
It can't connect to your db, so it doesn't matter what is in your db.

> Required 'phptype' not specified in authentication configuration.

You need to edit your horde configuration file and specify the phptype
parameter for your sql setup (either generic sql setup, or auth sql
setup, depending on your version).

phptype defines the type of sql database you use, such as "mysql" or
"pgsql" or whatever.

In HEAD, you would add something like:

$conf['sql']['phptype'] = 'pgsql';

In most older versions, you would add something like:

$conf['auth']['params']['phptype'] = 'pgsql';

> $conf['auth']['driver'] = 'sql';
> $conf['auth']['params'] = array();

You need to add the phptype here.

You did it for prefs; you just need to do it for auth also.

> $conf['prefs']['params']['hostspec'] = 'localhost';
> $conf['prefs']['params']['username'] = 'horde';
> $conf['prefs']['params']['password'] = 'horde';
> $conf['prefs']['params']['database'] = 'horde';

You'll probably want to add all those for auth also.
