./ch_admin_passwd: Utility to set Plesk adminstrator's password
Gets password from the environment variable PSA_PASSWORD
Password should be from 5 to 16 symbols and should not contain login
name, whitespace, quotes or national characters.

          display this help and exit

We must export the variable before running the binary. We will unset the
variable when we are done.

  # export PSA_PASSWORD='newpass'

  # echo $PSA_PASSWORD newpass

  # ./ch_admin_passwd

  # export PSA_PASSWORD=

  # cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow

The password can be found in the below mentioned file in the server.
