Summary

Fixes #20925

This Pull Request addresses a bug where a user remains locked out of their account even after a successful password reset. The issue occurs if the user had previously triggered the login rate limit due to multiple failed password attempts.

Problem:
The flask reset-password command did not clear the Redis cache key responsible for tracking login attempt failures. As a result, even with a new, correct password, the system still considered the account locked, preventing successful login and showing a "Too many attempts" error.

Solution:
The fix is to explicitly clear the login rate limit for the user's email immediately after the password has been successfully updated in the database. I've added a call to AccountService.reset_login_error_rate_limit(email) within the reset_password command in api/commands.py.

This ensures that any stale login restriction is removed, allowing the user to log in seamlessly with their new password right after a reset.
