As you have command line access then $prefix/bin/withlist is your friend 
for this sort of thing.

For instance, if the contents of the short withlist script file 
$prefix/bin/fix_remind.py is as follows:

 >>>>>> snip--------------------------
def fix_remind(mlist):
     mlist.send_reminders = 0
     mlist.Save()
<<<<<< snip--------------------------

then executing the following command line from inside your $prefix directory:

     ls -1 lists | xargs -n 1 bin/withlist -l -r fix_remind

will turn off "send password reminders" for all of your lists.
