 To correct this, use the `--homepath` global option to specify the Grafana default homepath for this command:
 
 ```bash
-grafana-cli --homepath "/usr/share/grafana" admin reset-admin-password <new password>
+grafana-cli admin reset-admin-password --homepath "/usr/share/grafana" <new password>
 ```
