Adding users in phpBB 2.0.x

I've been looking through the phpbb2.0 forum looking for tips on how
to add a user without using the registration form. While phpbb 3 seems
to have a simple way, the 2.0 search turned up empty.

I've tried adding users via php, into the phpbb_users table, but these
users cannot login - they get the error message 'You have specified an
incorrect or inactive username, or an invalid password.'. Given that
the admin can log in without trouble, I suspect that the problem may
be associated with the user group.Could someone let me know where I am
going wrong?

Thanks in advance.

And your PHP question is?

Try asking in the PhpBB community forums.
