Issue Summary

I understand why no one can change admin's password - but can't admin change his/her own password?!?!
Only through DB?

Seems better?

The alternative is that we should provide some documentation to say "use drush to change uid1 password" (since it does passwords now).

In 6.x UID 1 can change his/her password:

<?php
case 'user_profile_form': // Prevent modifying user/1
      if ($form['#uid'] === '1') {
        global $user;
        // Allow user/1 to edit own details.
        if ($user->uid != 1) {
          drupal_set_message('You must login as this user (user/1) to modify the email address and password for this account.');
          $form['account']['mail']['#access'] = FALSE;
          $form['account']['pass']['#access'] = FALSE;
        }
      }
      break;
?>
