Password resets fail with 'No such file or directory' error

Overview

Customers using the koha-reset-passwd command to reset admin passwords will encounter an error: env: '/bin/admin/set_password.pl': No such file or directory. This is due to an upstream bug in Koha where the script fails to source the Koha configuration file, resulting in an incorrect path. This issue affects all Koha package installations and prevents admins from resetting passwords via the command line.
