Why? If the rights are correctly set, then only administrators should be able to change a user's 
password (except the user himself). If you're afraid that someone else could change a password he 
shouldn't be able to change, then either you didn't set the correct rights, or you made an admin 
somebody you don't trust.

No, that should never happen, and I've never seen it. Can you give us the exception?
