Hi Riddy,

The password uses the username as a salt for the password so even if two users have the same password the encrypted password will not be the same 
org.hisp.dhis.security.spring.SpringSecurityPasswordManager is the class that contains the algorithm. 

I don’t think that users can be created via the Web API yet, some correct me if that isn’t true.

I suggest you use the dhis-adhoc tool to create users, there isn’t much documentation on it that I know of, but there is a working example here
If you look at the changes here https://code.launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs-core/dhis2/pii-encrypt (note the encryption here isn’t related to password encryption so look at it as more of a template) 

You’ll likely have to update the first section of the pom.xml to reflect what version of DHIS 2 you are using.

For the password I took the encrypted password district "48e8f1207baef1ef7fe478a57d19f2e5" but when I try to connect with the front-end, it does not work! What is the algorithm used to encrypt the password? Or who can give me a trick to bypass the password?
