 As Pippin said:

 > 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.

 As an extension of that, should we be able to easily send users a link to
 reset their passwords? It would greatly improve supporting communities.
 Instead of explaining "Go to domain.com/wp-admin/ and click on lost
 password and put in your info..." you can just press a button and send a
 link. Done.

 I was able to make it a plugin but I'm epically failing at getting the
 ajax/js stuff to work right as a core patch :(

 This doesn't actually change the password or even force it. If you, as an
 admin, change the password of a user, they get an email anyway. This uses
 just emails them the reset link.
