(A time ago I experienced some undefined problems, when using special 
signs in the password. )

As far as I know  Site is per default is *locked* und not mutable by a 
normal user.

config.php (for a single wiki) 
$AuthUser['user1']    =  '$1$W32gAGnz$qqRtTf.gwXj8KgFcrS9Ow/';   
/*password string*/
$DefaultPasswords['admin']   = 'id:user1,user2';
I think, it is enough, when a user has admin-rights

#$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = '$1$W32gNGnz$qqRtTf.gwGj8KgFcrS9Ow/';
(you may spezify, when users, don't have admin-rights)

You can  reassign  the authority of the Site group.  (default: @lock)   
->see authuser, groups
in Site.GroupAttributes?action=attr  (may be also needs admin rights).

hope this help's

regards
