Is password encryption when manually entering into database possible using phpyadmin?

This may be a bit of a random question and it may not even be possible, but is it possible to encrypt a password when manually entering it into the database using phpMyAdmin?

I am using Laravel 5 and the built in Auth system currently but there will be <5 total users for this program that need access to the dashboard. So what I was told I should do is just delete the register controller and routes and manually enter the users into the database.

Is this even possible to do?

Also open to other solutions on how to complete this? I was told not to create a Admin user.
