I'm not sure about reseting via the console, but you can reset your password via MySQL: https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/13781/reset-password-with-mysql

There's not a native Craft console command that could do that, but plugins can supply there own console commands, so you can write a plugin that added a command to do so.

Craft 2 plugin docs: <https://docs.craftcms.com/v2/plugins/introduction.html>

Craft 3 plugin docs: <https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/extend/plugin-guide.html>

And you can generate plugin boilerplate for both versions here: <https://pluginfactory.io/> and there's even a "Console Commands" checkbox you can tick.
