Reset user password by admin?

See original GitHub issue

So after moving user management outside of /admin to /users, how does admin reset users’ password? Are we missing it or not?

@hirefrank btw, if you only need to reset his password, you can do it from the command line:

$ cd /opt/redash/current
$ sudo -u redash bin/run ./manage.py users password {user's email} {new password}

@vitorbaptista you don’t need to setup an SMTP server, but spend ~10 minutes signing up with a free MailGun account. As we move forward there will be additional features that will work better with working email setup (like notifications to admins in case of issues).

For now your option is to use the CLI. You are welcome to submit a pull request to change it to generate the forgot password link instead of asking the admin to supply a new password for the user.
