(RADIATOR) NULL passwords in Radmin

Hello Nacho,

AuthBy RADMIN and AuthBy SQL behave differently to each other.

With AuthBy RADMIN, a NULL password in the database will only match an empty 
password string entered by the user.

With AuthBy SQL , a NULL password in the database will match any password 
string entered by the user.

Cheers.
