Note that what I am seeing is that I'd have to likely edit or somehow replace Login.ascx in DesktopModules/Admin/Authentication.  This isn't exactly a pretty solution as the markup in that control is outdated and gives no way of overriding its functionality without either modifying this file directly (read: modifying core) or just leaving it alone and hacking the SendPassword control in the database to point to a different control (to effectively replace the current forgot password).  I really do not want to re-do the entire Account Login module, but it looks like that is what is necessary to accomplish full control over it.
