I have a site that allows potential users to register. By default they<br>
are blocked and need to be set to active by the administrator. This<br>
cannot be done without resetting the password. What is the standard<br>
procedure for this. I note that drupal creates a default password that<br>
is sent out when no approval is required.<br>
<br>
Is it the usual practice for the administrator to create a new password<br>
at the time an account is activated?<br>
