SuiteCRM 8.7.1: Can't login?

My password is on the complex side but the one I am using doesn’t have any of those characters. As someone else suggested – try a simple password. However, I think I would have to change the password in 2 places – 1 in the config.si.php and 1 in the database in the users table. Does the password have to be hash-encoded in the database?
