Have you looked at the REST API docs? There is some info in there about authentication and examples in the Corporate Website.

Hi,

As FroggEye mentioned there is an article in our documentation related to REST authentication.

As for the restoring user password, there is example of updating cms.country object, but you can simply change it to cms.user with passing his username and password.
