[Aaron Wells <1396564@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A CLI script is actually our current recommended way of resetting the
admin password. There's a sample one laid out here:
https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/System_Administrator%27s_Guide/Installing_Mahara/Troubleshooting#Q:_If_I.27ve_locked_myself_out.2C_how_can_I_reset_the_password_for_my_user.3F

And I've also written up a slightly smoother one for my own use, which
I'll attach to this bug.

I've not included it with the standard Mahara distribution because I was
concerned that it might not be secure. I'll run the idea by Hugh and see
what he thinks though.

Title:
  Add password recovery with CLI

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Moodle offers many services accessible by CLI in the admin/cli folder
  and also in individual modulename/cli folders.

  One of the cli service provides a way for admin to change user's
  password, which is very convenient to do it quickly for one user or
  for many users, with some unix programming.

  I would like  to suggest you to adding such a cli service into the
  admin/cli folder for Mahara.
