Not good in that case. :-|

The best method is like that:

Let the user create a new account like FirstnameLastnameNew be used! 
with a new password. That account must not be used for wiki editing.

Locate the user file:
cd data/user
grep FirstnameLastnameNew *

Copy the line with the encrypted password to the old user file (also use 
grep to locate the old user file) and save it.

Finally, delete the file with FirstnameLastnameNew.

Maybe enable mail processing to have an easier way.
