ability to change admin password from CLI

Feature request from markoshust, posted on GitHub Oct 24, 2015

The ./bin/magento CLI tool contains the command admin:user:create. It would be very helpful to add another command admin:user:update, which would allow the user to update the admin password. This comes up a lot when taking over development for projects from other companies, and/or just needing a quick way to change the admin password to access the site.

The same directives should probably be used from admin:user:create.

Thank you @MarkShust for your suggestion. We have created task MAGETWO-44629 to work on this.

Is there a way to change the admin password while the CLI command is not done?

@degaray why would you want to change admin password before the CLI is done?

I lost my password, and I used a non existent email account. So I cannot retrieve or change my password.

@degaray Please refer to this doc it should help you to unlock the account, or just uninstall and start over.

hmm. Ok, but the problem is it is not locked. It is lost unfortunately. However what I did is create a different user. I guess I can wait until you guys create this.

@degaray You should be able to change the password from the admin interface via the new admin user you created to use temporarily.

i guess reset password is much faster and easier to do.... no need to create new user, etc... could you please add this feature. something like OP proposed: bin/magento admin:user:update --admin-user="dave" --admin-password="admin123"
