A Quick Guide to Changing Laravel Passwords Using Tinker

To change a user's password in Laravel using Tinker, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Open your terminal and navigate to your project directory.

Step 2: Type php artisan tinker to enter the Tinker shell.

Step 3: Retrieve the user by finding the user instance. For example, if you want to change the password for a user with ID 1, you can use the following command:

$user = App\Models\User::find(1);
