Update of Password does not appear to work

Good Morning,

I’m trying to update the password for a user registered in Gitea via CLI. The command does not seem to work no matter which combination of flags I use:

Examples with and without config flag specified:
sudo -u git GITEA_WORK_DIR=/var/lib/gitea /usr/local/bin/gitea admin change-password --username <my-user> --password <my-password> -c /etc/gitea/app.ini

sudo -u git GITEA_WORK_DIR=/var/lib/gitea /usr/local/bin/gitea admin change-password --username <my-user> --password <my-password>

In both cases, the command says it succeeded, but the new password does not work when trying to login to the web interface. I’ve also tried restarting the server via systemd after the command, and still nothing. Is there anything I’m missing?
