Hi Dave,
While we should probably provide an easier way to do this, the
following should work.
$ rb-site manage /path/to/site shell
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> u = User.objects.get(username="admin")
>>> u.set_password("the new password")
>>> u.save()
Replace the admin username above if it's different.
I'm typing this on my iPhone, so if I typoed, let me know :P
