I think this is a side-effect of the way userdb is creating the row. I've 
had this happen in a stock Standard demo. Even though a password was 
specified, the Interchange database abstraction layer creates an empty row 
(except primary key) first, then populates it.

This really should be fixed.

But if you just want to get going, you can remove the NOT NULL constraint 
on the password field for now. Connect to your database in psql and do:

alter table userdb alter column password drop not null;
