Password reset
==============
If a user has registered an email address to their account using an identity
server, they can request a password-reset token via clients such as Vector.
A manual password reset can be done via direct database access as follows.
First calculate the hash of the new password:
$ source ~/.synapse/bin/activate
$ ./scripts/hash_password
Password:
Confirm password:
$2a$12$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Then update the `users` table in the database:
UPDATE users SET password_hash='$2a$12$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
WHERE name='@test:test.com';
Where's the spec?!
