 For sites that have a lot of user accounts (such as community forums),
 it'd be really nice for admins to be able to manually generate a new
 password for user accounts and then automatically send that new password
 via email. The option to flag the user's account so they are encouraged to
 reset their password (exactly as they are when using an auto-generated
 password) would be excellent.

 The [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-user-password-generator/ Simple
 User Password Generator] plugin by 10up does this superbly. I'd propose it
 be implemented exactly like they have done.

 Any reason not to do this?
