Create & ship a localhost script that (un/)sets the frontend admin password

You should be able to remove or reset the admin password from the command line.

This might also be good to add to the Admin Panel added in #828, have the script be accessible via an endpoint and a subprocess wrapper as well

how is this any different from the existing admin password un/setting in the admin panel?

I don't view that password change thing as an "admin password", it is only used for the frontend and is not used for any of the internals; it is not used to ssh, it is not used for sudo, as far as I know all it does is simply lock down the frontend until you enter the password.

ah, sorry, I didn't make this ticket terribly clear; I'll edit. This ticket is to add a script to reset the frontend password from the backend. The way you reset a UNIX user password on the command line is a command called passwd - no need for a 'script' :)
