Create a user that can login/authenticate with password:

if (serviceRegistry.getAuthenticationService().authenticationExists(userName) == false) {
    serviceRegistry.getAuthenticationService().createAuthentication(userName, password.toCharArray());

    Map user = new Map();
    user.put(ContentModel.PROP_USERNAME, userName);
    user.put(ContentModel.PROP_FIRSTNAME, "firstName");
    user.put(ContentModel.PROP_LASTNAME, "lastName");
    user.put(ContentModel.PROP_EMAIL, userName+"@example.com");
    user.put(ContentModel.PROP_JOBTITLE, "jobTitle");
