resetting password for non-email users
I have setup foswiki with no email setup. Not all my users have emails. I received some request to reset or change password. How do I go about this if the user does not have emails?

Assuming you use .htpasswd for passwords
- Enable emailing
- Edit .htpasswd with an ascii editor (never with htpasswd!!). Find the line with the user and add your own email address
- Reset his password using the System.ResetPassword page
- Wait for the email
- Send the password to him by snail mail, SMS, phone or whatever
- Instruct him to change the password on System.ChangePassword
