BlueOnyx does not store plain text passwords anywhere for security
reasons. It's not needed at all.

On Linux the command "usermod" can be used to update or set a users
password by using the encrypted password.

See: "man usermod"

       -p, --password PASSWORD
           The encrypted password, as returned by crypt(3).

So the procedure would be:

usermod <username> -p <encrypted-password>
