Because when admins change password users are required to reset them to
a value unknown to the admin immediately.
This is by design. And it is meant as a way to safely distribute new
accounts as well do password resets without letting anybody else but the
user know the final password.
Unfortunately at this moment I don't have a way to provide a better
message like: "the password was reset you have to change it". But that
is the idea.

Simo.
