drush si --account-pass does not work; regardless of specifying it or not.

[robertgarrigos]

when running the drush si command with account options, pass option gets ignored somehow. Drush prints out the right password as being used, however, that password doesn't get you in. Is it modified some how? Is it a bug?

It also happens when you do not specify an --account-pass (just drush si) and let si generate a random one; again the random password is printed to the screen, but it does not work to login to the site.

We should provably change the title of this issue, as the problem its not only with the ignoring of the argument, but that there is no way to login to the backdrop just installed, even with the drush generated password.

indeed;

the work around for now is once the site is installed use:

drush uli

this will get you a one time login link to the site.

Just lost a 1/2 day to this. Couldn't figure out why I couldn't login after installing a site with drush.
Drupal console install has no problems loggin in.
