Changing users password

If your environment is configured for password recovery, you could. For more information, see the administration help database that's installed with the administration client & server.
If your environment is not setup for password recovery, you may have a backup of the original id with the initial password, if you don't have that, there are two options, either you crack the password using dictionary/brute force attack (there are tools/companies out there for this purpose), or you create a new id file for this user. If the user has any encrypted (local) databases or encrypted documents, those will be inaccessible.
Have fun
