Allow Admin to reset users' passwords
-------------------------------------

                 Key: XWIKI-1730
                 URL: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1730
             Project: XWiki Platform
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Admin
    Affects Versions: 1.1 RC1
            Reporter: John Casey
            Priority: Critical


I haven't tried this in RC2 (didn't know it was out, actually), but in 1.1 RC1 it's not possible for the Admin user to reset the passwords of other users. This is a key administrator function, so I added the functionality by editing the XWikiUserSheet, changing:

{code}
  #if(($doc.fullName == $context.user.substring($i)) && ($context.action == "view"))
{code}

to:

{code}
  #if((("XWiki.Admin" == $context.user.substring($i)) || ($doc.fullName == $context.user.substring($i)) )&& ($context.action == "view"))
{code}

This gives Admin access to change user passwords in the event the user forgets his password, or otherwise becomes locked out.
