Okay, I want to use this to notifiy a new user that I have approved access to my site. Since this directs them to change their password when they click on the link, then it makes the request for a password when they initially request access redundent.

How can I remove the password fields from the create new account screen?

i don't see any password fields at all on the end-user visible pages to request a new account. are you talking about the /admin/user/user/create page? by default, that generates active (approved) accounts directly, so it makes sense to have a password field there for the admin to set an initial password (if they're using this interface at all). otherwise, users don't get to choose a password while creating an account (at least no where i can find). please be more specific about exactly what page (and how you got there) you're seeing a password field that you think shouldn't be there.

thanks,

oh, Heine points out the thing i was missing. you must have the "Require e-mail verification when a visitor creates an account" setting at admin/user/settings disabled, which is why they can set their initial password. seems silly to have that setting turned off if you're going to have a site that requires admin approval... ;)
