I am not sure about that option directly, but as WebWork can now run in the background of a LMS like Moodle, I think it is not as priority for developers. But of course it would be nice to have that option. Let's see what the experts say.
Maybe you can leave that job to the teachers assigned to each section.
This would be a priority for us. We don't run through an LMS.
In particular, I am struggling with courses built by faculty who suddenly left us in June. I would like to get in and use the WebWork courses they had already developed, but I can't because I don't know their password (they claim they have forgotten theirs) and I wasn't an instructor in the class.
How can I reset their passwords without having to go to IT?
The WeBWorK administrator (the person who creates courses using the "admin course") should be able to login (as admin, using admin's password) to an orphaned course and change a password for a specified user.
In any event, a person with shell access to the server and suitable privileges on that server has the option of running the "newpassword" command (it is in webwork2/webwork/bin).
