Reset password - different methods?

[ziggie216]

What's the difference between using these commands to reset a user's account password from single user mode?

passwd <username>

vs

launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
dscl . -passwd /Users/<username> <password>

vs

launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
dscl . -passwd /Users/<username> <password>

one is much faster to type
