Default forgoten password

Hi,

You may also what to consider the issue of forgotten passwords - suppose
this was the password to your bank account - I could log in and try to access
the bank account but since I don't know your password I would an error
message. Now suppose there was a simple way to change the password - I would
just change your password to one I knew and then bingo I would have access to
all your money. Good idea no?

So if a password is designed to keep others out having a simple way to
change it defeats the whole purpose of the password.
