Note that this password will be read only once and is intended for use by a script rather than for interactive use.
so something like echo PASSWD | pw add user wibble -h 0 will create a user wibble with password of PASSWD or echo $PASSWORD | pw add user $USERNAME -h 0 setting $PASSWORD and $USERNAME as needed.
