Question Changing user passwords

Got the mud moved to another server, it's running beautifully, except that one of the other Imps can't log in. It won't accept her password. I've tried the command "set file (hername) password (newpassword)" and the system comes back and says "You cannot change that" even though the online documentation clearly says that I should be able to do so.

What are my options here to change a user's password so this Imp can log in? And was this command disabled in 3.68 (or earlier) and the documentation wasn't caught up?

Thanks much!

Good question..
Is it possible to manually edit the pfile in a text editor?

Edit:
Code:
if (GET_LEVEL(vict) >= LVL_GRGOD) { send_to_char(ch, "You cannot change that.\r\n"); return (0); }
This is what is stopping the command, change it so the implementer can do this?
Gotta be careful that imms can't just change other passwords willy-nilly

I went about this a different way for now, after reviewing the code. I realized the easiest answer was to set the Imp to a lower level (HAH! Demoted!) and then I changed her password, and then I set her back to Imp level. She's now able to log in. Funny the things my brain comes up with. :)
