Fix password set with $, enhance security, update readme

Summary: Enhance password setting security and usability

  • Implement interactive mode to remove password from command-line arguments to avoid shell misinterpretation with special characters (i.e. $)
    • also prevents exposure in history and logs when using interactive mode
  • Add non-interactive mode for scripted password setting via piped input to avoid shell misinterpretation
    • More secure than command-line arguments (not visible in process lists)
  • Maintain compatibility with existing systems while improving security
  • added success log after password is set
