Added instructions on how to change a default Local MD5 password to bcrypt.

New users may not be aware that bedrock uses a different encryption than WordPress by default. When using Local the initial WordPress-password is encrypted using MD5.

Thanks for the PR, but this shouldn’t be necessary?

Thank you for the Reply! I thought so too, but after installing bedrock with Local I encountered the same problem. You should be able to replicate it by following the guide.

It could be that Local handles passwords a bit different to enable features like one-click-admin; An explanation would probably need further investigation.
