SBCGlobal.net, ATT.net to name two big ones.
Did you read what you just said? How many ISPs have you called where they would "Tell you what your password is"? If your ISP can tell you what your password is, let us know who it is, so we can all avoid them in the future.
<sarcasm mode="on">No, really? I would have never guessed.</sarcasm>Answer: they don't need to know your old password to change your password. It's called permissions, and privileged access. As root, or a priveleged user, I can change anyone's password without having to know the old one.
Think about it.
OK, I thought about it. Now what do I do?
BTW, when I say "tell you what your password is", what I mean is something like this, "Mr. Schmehl, your password is 1234qwer. Are you sure you're typing it right?"
Doh!
