[Pki-users] reset pkiconsole password [for CA server]

The admin entry has a DN similar to this form
dn: uid=admin,ou=people,dc=<fully-qualified-hostname>-pki-ca
Bind as the directory manager to read or modify the userpassword attribute

I added an example of detailed steps in a  "knowledge based" article at
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/133053
