fix(ui): Admin password change didn't update the saved login copy

Tools > Admin > System > "Admin password" (set-only, sends "password
<new>") changes the remote node's own admin credential, but nothing
updated this device's saved copy of it -- so the very next login
attempt to that node retried the password just replaced, landing
straight in the "stuck on Logging in..." case fixed in the previous
commit. Likely the actual trigger behind that report.

CommonCLI::handleCommand() always echoes a successful password change
back as "password now: <value>" (truncation and all), so parsing that
reply gives the exact value now required to log back in, rather than
trusting what we sent (which the remote may have truncated further).
