In the user's auth directory, there should be one of two files:
- 'password' holds the password in plaintext.
- 'hash' holds the password encrypted using MD5 along with
a seed.
nessus-adduser checks whether the user already exists so that method is
out.
If the former, then you can simply edit the file and put the new
password in there; otherwise, use md5sum or "openssl md5" to generate
the necessary contents (see how it's done in the nessus-adduser script).
