You click "Forgot my password" and you get emailed a password. Oh, you say you didn't set your password? Well, then you might have to go edit the database. Maybe that's not so user friendly. What if you could run 'wizard change-password' and then have a nice, application-aware tool to change passwords? Might be handy. Add a 'change-password' command to [wizard](http://scripts.mit.edu/wizard). -- **A more friendly Forbidden sign.** There are any number of conditions that could lead to a 403 on Scripts, including an explicit Deny rule, a poorly chosen file extension, a CGI script lacking an executable bit, etc. Right now, we give no guidance about what of these many, many problems is afflicting any given page. If you don't know much about coding but want to write documentation that will make a difference, try redesigning a 403 page that is actually helpful!

A similar project is for the **Welcome** page, which we should place in a new signup's web_scripts directory, to let them know how to use their shiny new Scripts instance.
