What method(s) are yo using to change the users passwords? You drop the
whole table and re-install another which you have edited?
I doubt that this new feature will be re-introduced when it was secuity
driven in teh first place. But it appears that we need to suggest anotehr
way for you to edit your users passwords rather than the way you are doing
it.
What method of connection to the database do you have?
e.g. PHP has the ability to change user passwords, gee wiz.. gsec scripts
can do it too. IBO has some good contributed code for managing users
