```php
if (!file_exists('madeline.php')) {
    copy('https://phar.madelineproto.xyz/madeline.php', 'madeline.php');
}
include 'madeline.php';

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API('session.madeline');
$MadelineProto->start();

$Bool = $MadelineProto->account->setPassword(['current_password_hash' => 'bytes', 'new_salt' => 'bytes', 'new_password_hash' => 'bytes', 'hint' => 'string', ]);
```

Or, if you're into Lua:

```lua
Bool = account.setPassword({current_password_hash='bytes', new_salt='bytes', new_password_hash='bytes', hint='string', })
```
