-Password reset
-==============

-Synapse does not yet support a password-reset function (see

-
-    $ 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'
