Testing instructions: 1. Install Mahara 2. Set up an institution with the "Persona" (aka BrowserID) authentication method. 3. Create a user "user1" who is using the Persona auth method. 4. At the command-line, execute the script. As with any Mahara CLI script, depending on your filesystem permissions you will probably need to run it as the same user as Apache in order to avoid permission warnings:
cd /path/to/mahara sudo -u www-data htdocs/admin/cli/pwreset.php 5. Running the script without any arguments should simply display a help message. 6. Running the script for "user1" should prompt you for a password, then give you a message about how the user's password could not be changed because they're not an the internal auth: sudo -u www-data htdocs/admin/cli/pwreset.php -u=user1 7. Run it again with the -i flag, to force their auth method to be changed: sudo -u www-data htdocs/admin/cli/pwreset.php -u=user1 -i 8. You should now be able to log in to your Mahara install as user1, using the password you entered at the command line. 9. Run it again, providing the password on the command-line: sudo -u www-data htdocs/admin/cli/pwreset.php -u=user1 -p=password 10. Log in again as user1, with password "password". You should be forced to reset your password after you log in. 11. Run it again, with the "-f=false" flag. sudo -u www-data htdocs/admin/cli/pwreset.php -u=user1 -p=password -f=false 12. Log in again as user1, with password "password". You should not be forced to reset your password after you log in. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

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.
