You can use the site password to (re)set a specific list's admin
password via that list's admin page.

Yes, with big caveats:
-- Must be same architecture (eg x86)
If not, recompile.
-- Must have same hostname
Need to reset list configs with with_list
-- Must have same VHostname
Need to reset list configs with with_list
-- Must be installed in same filesystem location
Need to reset list configs with with_list
-- Must have (reasonably) same version of libC
If not, recompile.
-- Must have Python installed in same location
Edit #! lines in Python scripts etc
-- Must have same or later version of Python (Probably)
Likely safe.
