If you look in the source code of DNN, you will find:

'If Password retrieval is not supported then only the user can change
            'their password, an Admin must Reset
            If ((Not MembershipProviderConfig.PasswordRetrievalEnabled) AndAlso IsAdmin AndAlso (Not IsUser)) Then
                'OrElse (MembershipProviderConfig.RequiresQuestionAndAnswer AndAlso IsAdmin) Then
                pnlChange.Visible = False
            Else
                pnlChange.Visible = True


Meaing that if password retreival is disabled, not even the host/admin can change a password for a user, what is the logic behind that, I don't even see the connection between the two? Is this perhaps due to the fact that the same code/module is used when the user tries to edit his/her profile, and this is only a side effect of this? If so, this is something that really should be changed in future version of DNN, right?
