Cannot Change from Empty Password

[mediaGuy 8]

What's the secret for changing an empty password?

I searched the forums which talked about using different browsers.  Tried IE, Firefox, Edge and Chrome but all tell me the password is invalid when I try to change it.  There is no current password (empty) and no browser shows an entry box for the current (Empty) password.

Hi there, can you please show a screenshot? thanks.

@Luke

Here's the screen to try and change the password.  There's nowhere to enter the current password (which is empty) and when I try to create one it always gives this error.

If I try to change a user password that has a non-empty password, I see an entry box for current password and I can change it without issue.

@Happy2Play are you able to reproduce?

No the password applies without issue, stable and beta.

I'm using stable (4.5.2) and it happens on both my installs.  One is Docker and the other is on Debian Buster.

It's my original administer account that was setup without a password.

 

So how do I change it?  I did a password reset which worked fine but I still can't change it from empty.

Can you post a server log.

Does the same happen if you create a new user?
