Wow, that's pretty complicated. I hope there's an easier way! This might be a 
good lead for backing up and restoring users, however. I really would like to 
do this without manually deleting repositories though.

Subject: Re: [magnolia-user] changing superuser and securitymanager passwords

What's the problem exactly ?
If it's changing the superuser password, you "just" have to change it while 
you're logged in superuser in the Author instance, then,

    * go to Tools > Development tools
    * select the "users" repository
    * "/" as "parent path"
    * whatever you like as root dir (in order to find it later)
    * Click on "backupChildren"
    * Go on the server, get the users.superuser.xml file
    * Backup all your datas in the Public instance with that method
      (creating xml files)
    * Stop the public instance
    * Replace the users.superuser.xml of the backed up xml files with
      the one from Author
    * remove the "repositories" directory and perhaps the datas if your
      persistence manager is a DB
    * Re-bootstrap the public instance, based on the xml files you backed up

And finally you're done !
... I think there is a simplier way anyway ... :-/
