You need to get hold of Todd, as currently he is the only one that can

Just curious - any reason why the new feature won't just allow people to
reset their own passwords (in addition to allowing admins to reset
anyone's password)?

Here's my understanding:

The interim fix of allowing more admins to do it doesn't require any code
changes, just permissions changes (who can access certain screens). It's not
prudent to undertake code changes with a server move pending.

Once the move happens, I agree.
