Use Drush to reset a password in Drupal 7

Sometimes when you are working on your local dev, you need to reset the password of your user. With Drush you can do:

drush upwd user --password="the_password"

... where "user" is the name of the user in the Drupal DB and "the_password" is your new password.

If you are doing this on a remote or live server you may want to do:

history -c

...after you do this.
