Originally created by @G7OEA on GitHub (Jan 24, 2022).

NetBox version

V3.3.08

Python version

3.8

Steps to Reproduce

I have just wasted 5 minuets of my life trying to work out how to change a password for another user.

Expected Behavior

I expected to go into the users account and see a BIG button marked change password or reset password.

Observed Behavior

Rather than a simple intuitive easy to use common sense button labeled change password or reset password you are met with a line of text saying what a password cannot be.

Under that in text only an electron microscope can read is a statement saying that you cannot see passwords on this page. Err DUHHH that would be a security risk so obviously.

At the end of the statement from the minister for the bleeding obvious is a continuation of the statement saying you can change the password on the following form, with the last two words as a hyperlink.

Please change it for a button saying CHANGE PASSWORD. Don't let others suffer like I have.
