Change NSX EDGE login from CLI

Have an NSX EDGE that is not working correctly and need to make some modifications. I can query it from the NSX Manager CLI, but I cannot login to the Edge console (known passwords aren't working).

Is there a CLI command to either launch the "update CLI credentials" process? Is there a way to send the configuration from the NSX Manager CLI? Other ways to enable BGP when the environment is mostly down?

Was able to bypass this by using Postman and the NSX API. Great tools for anyone dealing with NSX.

We have had a couple BGP failures which brought the environment to its knees. Through the NSX API, we were able to reinstate BGP and restore services quickly.
