Here is the string I am using 'UPDATE virtual_users SET password=ENCRYPT(%p,concat('$6$',substring(sha(rand()),-16))), WHERE email=%u LIMIT 1';

However, now roundcube is crashing and I am seeing this error

[06-Mar-2017 22:30:32 America/New_York] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$' in /var/www/roundcube/roundcubemail-1.2.1/plugins/password/config.inc.php on line 106

Not sure what I am missing....

I think this isn't quite right, because the salt has to end
with a $ according to the man page for crypt. I think you
want CONCAT('$6$', SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16),'$')) but

I was following the tutorial the digital had. I am not a mysql expert
so you could be right.

Actually trying this with a recent mysql shows that "select encrypt('string','$6$d6066e43fb301519$');" and "select encrypt('string','$6$d6066e43fb301519');" return the same results. So unlike the man page for crypt(), mysql adds the missing final $ for you. Or the crypt() function doesn't actually care. So you're probably fine and it'll all work.
