So people can change passwords. :o)
 
That is the permission that allows you to specify an old password and replace it with a new password. So for instance, lets say I as user joe want to change the password of user service. If I didn't have the right to change password, even if I know the old password, I can't change it.
 
A common mistake is to think that Change Password gives the right to arbitrarily set the password to a value, that is the Set Password permission.

In ADUC, on the security tab of any user, why is the everyone group selected to allow change password?
