I don't think that there's a facility to do this, however -
The user table in the database stores the MD5 hash of the password
salted with the user id, if you can generate this hash value you can
manually reset a password via an SQL update. It ain't pretty but
failing all else...
Details of how the password is salted can be found in User.php
Hmm.. it might be more simple to just delete the user out of that
table and create it again.
