I looked at the code: in the trunk and 2.0.\*, when the owner password is
empty, the user password is taken as the owner password. The 1.8 version hasn't
got this, so I added it. However you should use the 2.0.\* version, and use
strong encryption, i.e. not 40 bit, rather 256 bit encryption. IIRC this is the
default in 2.0.\*.
