hi gabor,
I've been thinking about this as well and my solution is probably going
to be something like the following:
1) Create a custom form with only the username/password/confirm fields.
This will take cleartext password. From this, create a new user and get
the id
2) Redirect to the regular admin user form, using the ID of the record
you just created. The username and password will be filled already, and
the other fields can be changed.

However, this only works if you want to give people access to other
users as well as their own. Also you are exposing the group membership
which might not work for you. Basically, this function that I'm
creating is only for an "administrator".

You may want to create a custom form that will only fill in the
user/pass/confirm/first name/last name fields, and assign them to a
deafult group, or use some lookup parameters to determine which group
they should belong to. Once the user has been created they can change
their password in a friendly way using the admin link in the top right
of the screen.
