How to change the Admin password.

Description

A customer commented that they could not find the documentation about changing the admin password.

We do have the page on cbreset_password but you kind of have to know that it is there:
http://docs.couchbase.com/admin/admin/CLI/cbreset_password_tool.html

Maybe we should have a more general page under security about changing the Admin password:
http://docs.couchbase.com/admin/admin/Concepts/security-intro.html

It would be good to get your input, I feel we do not really have a polished way of changing the password, maybe we have to wait until before we can improve the documentation.

added the section "
Resetting the administrative password"
with the link to CLI, cbreset_password tool

Moved to security section as we don't have a UI for this.

Please update http://docs.couchbase.com/4.0/admin/security/security-CB-admins.html#concept_ysp_t3l_gr to add a sub-section on resetting the admin password and point to the cb password reset tool.
