Adding a way to reset the admin password via CLI without any user interaction (#3912)

* feat(cli): Allow unattended password reset via CLI

This commit adds a way to reset the admin password via CLI without any
user interaction (unattended operation).

It adds an optional `new_password` CLI argument that, when present is
used instead of prompting the user for password and password
confirmation.

It also makes sure the user is informed the password could leak into
it's shell history (it's up to him to do some cleaning if
needed/wanted).

* Change to dash style

* Add dry-run

* Fix number password issue
