Hello Freshta Moheby, in case you didn't figure this out yet. You might be using the newest Spring Security (version 5+) and it requires you to use encrypted passwords for production database handling. Since this isn't a production database, you need to specify in the SQL import file that these passwords are for testing purposes only. To do this, add {noop} in front of your passwords. Example line: 

insert into user (username,enabled,password,role_id) values ('user', true, '{noop}password', 1);

If you have solved it, I hope someone else finds this useful.
