Default answer is no, not built in.


Which passwords? Several possibilites...

Windows authenticated users - not built in to SharePoint and typically done through normal Windows password options

Forms based or custom authentication - All depends on who did the custom code and what they built in

Server side accounts (application pool and service accounts) - not built in

Hi, Laurel -

Yes there is an easy way. However, it involves installing third party tools from companies like Bamboo Solutions. Once the admin installs this, users can reset or change their password at their convenience.

Let me know if you have any other questions =)
