Re: [xwiki-users] 1.4.1 and resetting user passwords?
If the rights are correctly set That's just it. There is no method to simply reset the password - even as administrator, you have to go to the Objects view, and set a field value. I guess I could try it on a clean install though to confirm similar issue exists on clean.
