Thanks for the helpful hints ! I found a simple script provided by OSTraining meant for Drupal 7 and I try changing some api names to backdrop and it works for me. Let me know if there's any issue with this way of working or better codes to be done. Thanks !
Replace "mypassword" with whatever you want to use as the password. The script accesses the backdrop password function and changes the password for you.
Step 4: Uninstall the PHP script and login
One you're done resetting passwords. Be sure to uninstall the php script you created by deleting it using FTP or your file manager.
Notes: This is successfully tested on backdrop v1.8.0

One way to do this is with
drush:
To use
drush
with Backdrop install the Backdrop Drush Extension or use a tool like Lando that includes drush with it.There are also some scripts in the core/scripts directory that can help with resetting passwords.
