positional arguments:
  memsql_id             The ID of the MemSQL node.

optional arguments:
  --settings-file SETTINGS_FILE
                        A path to a MemSQL Ops settings.conf file. If not set,
                        we will use the file in the same directory as the
                        MemSQL Ops binary.
  --async               If this option is true, we will exit without waiting
                        for MemSQL Ops to finish updating the root password.
  --no-prompt           Skip interactive prompts if ID is not provided. This
                        should be used for non-interactive scripts and
                        automation.
  -p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
                        The password to use for the root user on the MemSQL
                        node.
  --no-confirmation     If this option is specified, we will update the root
                        password without prompting for confirmation.
