I think for small businesses, an IT person/s are seen
as a business liability. i.e. they chew company profit without bring anything $$
into the company. In some cases, this may be right, but then, what happens when
their server crashes, or someones PC has issues. At least they can get is fixed
quicker and have less down time. It all adds up after a while these time
savings, so they SHOULD be seen as an asset, but as I am sure we all know, those
of us who work for companys who have an IT/in house dev. team, we are quite
often not seen that way......or is it my place of work ;-)

sort it out themselves.
Some one once rang me and asked "we have a message on screen that says -
ask the system administrator - who is that?
I answered - its you!
So many small NZ businesses have no IT dept, can be a major problem! Unless
someone wants to charge out for it - and such things are often too time
consuming.

Kind of depends what you are writing.
If you are storing thousands of clients and passwords for a webbased
system then this is obviously a no go ;)
I do think that the safest mechanism is for the computer administrator
to somehow be integrated with the application to allow them to logonto
the app for adjusting forgotten passwords etc.
This all depends on the type of system that you are writing. Most of
Rohits clients are simply not going to have Active Directories. And are
similar to my fathers clients I would guess in their ability to ask what
the power button is for :-P I guess having a backdoor password to a
semi-secure app is better than having an app with no security at all.
