| `admin:create` | `--email`, `--password` (both required), `--login`, `--role <code>`, `--superuser` | Creates an activated backend administrator. `--login` defaults to the lower-cased email. |

| `admin:create` | `--email` (required), `--login`, `--role <code>`, `--superuser`, `--password` (deprecated) | Creates an activated backend administrator. `--login` defaults to the lower-cased email. The password is read from a hidden prompt, or from stdin when the input is not a terminal. |
| `admin:reset-password` | `<identifier>` (login or email), `--password` (deprecated) | Sets a new password, read like the one of `admin:create`, and revokes every token issued before the reset. |
```sh
./bin/acme admin:create --email admin@example.com --password '<secret>' --superuser
./bin/acme admin:reset-password admin@example.com --password '<secret>'
./bin/acme admin:create --email admin@example.com --superuser
./bin/acme admin:reset-password admin@example.com
```
Passwords passed as flags end up in your shell history. Prefer reading them from a secrets manager into a variable. The admin is described in [cabana](../../modules/cabana/README.md).
Both commands prompt for the password without echoing it. In a script, pipe it on stdin, for example `printf '%s\n' "$ADMIN_PASSWORD" | ./bin/acme admin:create --email admin@example.com --superuser`. The `--password` flag still works but is deprecated and prints a warning, because the value stays in your shell history and is visible in the process list. The admin is described in [cabana](../../modules/cabana/README.md).
