  --root 

              Set the working directory for the script to the specified path.
              To execute this script this has to be the root directory of your
              Drupal installation, e.g. /home/www/foo/drupal (assuming Drupal
              running on Unix). Use surrounding quotation marks on Windows.

  "" ["" ["" ...]]

              One or more plan-text passwords enclosed by double quotes. The
              output hash may be manually entered into the {users}.pass field to
              change a password via SQL to a known value.

To run this script without the --root argument invoke it from the root directory
of your Drupal installation as

  ./scripts/{$script}
