Fixing it how? Do you know that it is a withlist script. It should be
saved in Mailman's bin/ directory as bin/reset_pw.py and run via a
command like

 bin/withlist -l -r reset_pw LISTNAME

Is that how you're running it? If so, what happens when you run it?

Also, if you edited out the docstring from the file in addition to from
this email, you will have issues with the 'usage()' function.
