Resetting User Password

I have a subweb with specific users. One of those users lost their password
and I need to know how to reset it using FP2003. I tried just deleting the
user and adding them back in but FP said the user already existed. Can
anyone tell me how to reset a user's password?
 
If this is a Windows based server, FP creates user permissions for that user
within the Windows OS. It could be that, although the user is no longer part
of the web, the user account on the web server still exists. If you have an
administrative control panel for the server account (not the server
extensions) you can check and see if the account is listed there and change
the password (likewise a host admin may do this for you if they don't give
you the management tools to do it for yourself).

Hope this helps,
