There is a little routine that does it. I have it, but have not
posted it over the net, due to the fact that you can rather badly
mess up a printer with it.  Not only will it change passwords, but
it will do several other interesting routines.  I make it available
under the following:

Foriegn users:

Email me a message from root. (Yes I know it is easy to fugga-boo)
Local (US) people:

send me an official request on department, institutional, or
company letterhead, signed by an administrative person with
responsiblilty.  In addition email me a request.  I have adopted this
procedure, to try to limit liablilty if someone should mis-use the
routine.  Fortunatly, you can undo anything that has been done, but
I'd rather not be responsible for some malicious person using it.
I won't accept laser printed stationary (mmmm   to easy to fake.... 8->>)
