admin password invalid when enabling authentication after fresh install

[mduchain]

Describe Your Environment

• Version of ZoneMinder [1.34.26]
• How you installed ZoneMinder [RPMFusion, installation guide RHEL (readthedocs.io), external MariaDB 5.5.57 on QNAP]
• Full name and version of OS [CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009, 3.10.0-1160.15.2.el7.x86_64]

Describe the bug After a fresh install of zoneminder, following official documentation, I followed the step-by-step instructions from the user guide, getting started section. After following the steps in "Enabling Authentication" and pressing save, I was unable to login with the default password "admin".

Note: I changed the field AUTH_HASH_SECRET to a value of my choosing (20 digit random string), and unselected "AUTH_HASH_IPS" as per instructions in the documentation.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. fresh install or on existing depployment drop the database and re-populate db using installation script.
2. Go to 'Options' - 'System'
3. Deselect "AUTH_HASH_IPS"
4. Substitute value in AUTH_HASH_SECRET with a value of your choosing
5. Press SAVE
6. Login prompt is shown, insert user: admin, password: admin

Expected behavior After entering the user/password, you should be seeing the home page.
