Change EasyEngine 3.x admin password manually?

Question

The recommended way to update the admin password with EasyEngine is as follows:

ee auth update --user=someName --password=somePassword

Unfortunately EasyEngine no longer works as intended the the ee command is broken. Is there some other way we can modify the authentication username/password?

I checked the SQLite database located at, /var/lib/ee/ee.db but it doesn't relate to the authentication details unfortunately. I'm not sure where else this could be stored and how it could be updated.

Give up and move to WordOps.

Not a great answer, but my answer. That said, WordOps is pretty fantastic so I have no qualms with the final outcome. It did take a day instead of a minute though...
