mongodump default behaviour on 2.6.X was to ask for the password in interactive mode on the shell when you pass -p without arguments, now, since 3.0 it gives an error even though it clearly states that the old behaviour still works on the docs.
Command:
mongodump -h SERVER:PORT -d DATABASE -u USER -p --dumpDbUsersAndRoles -o OUTPUTDIR
On all 2.6.X it asked for the password on the terminal interactively and proceed to the dump.
Since 3.0.0 it gives the following error:
2015-03-23T15:00:33.996-0300 error parsing command line options: expected argument for flag `-p, --password' 2015-03-23T15:00:33.996-0300 try 'mongodump --help' for more information

TOOLS-504 mongotools needs to be able to read password from something other than command line flags
