# Activates a user

# Requirements:
# - The script has to be executed on the same machine where Matrix Synapse is installed.
# - A new password for the user must be specified.
# - For authentication, you will need the access token of your (admin) account.
#   You can obtain it in your Element client: "All settings" > "Help & About" > scroll down > click on "<click to reveal>" to get your access token.
#   Copy this token and paste it further down (variable "token").
