When the "Edit own profile" is set to no in the user group settings and a user that is in this group wants to reset their password they are not able to because the Edit own profile is set to no. Is there any way to change this as I can't allow my users to make changes to there profiles since its in an intranet environment but must allow them to be able to change there passwords.

Anyone know of an easy way to keep the profiles locked down but still allow the user to change/manage their own password?

I don't really have time to check this out, but it might have something to do with this:

if (!($permissions['forumpermissions'] & CANVIEW))
{
	print_no_permission();
}

try changing that to:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] != 'editpassword' AND $_POST['do'] != 'updatepassword')
{
if (!($permissions['forumpermissions'] & CANVIEW))
{
	print_no_permission();
}
}

Then give them a direct link to profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editpassword

Be aware that they might also be able to change there email from that form...
