How do I change a password in the Command Line Interface (CLI) without typing it in cleartext?

Hello,

I was wondering how do you change a password using the CLI without typing it into the command in cleartext?

This is primarily because PowerShell commands are logged in the environment and so any password changes will be written to the log. It is not feasible to disable PowerShell logging to change the password either, so this will have to be done in the CLI.

Does anyone know of a method to accomplish this?

Thank you in advance!
