With FreeIPA 3.0 beta 1 it's really easy to write own page for password 
reset because of new API for that [1]. You don't have to though. Beta 1 
already contains a stand-alone reset page (it was added along with 
password reset in forms-based auth)[2]. It looks like this: 
http://pvoborni.fedorapeople.org/ui/reset_password.html

Custom page could you code like this, or just plain html form.

     data = {
         user: username,
         old_password: old_password,
         new_password: new_password
     };

     request = {
         url: '/ipa/session/change_password',
         data: data,
         contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
         processData: true,
         dataType: 'html',
         async: false,
         type: 'POST',
         success: success_handler,
         error: error_handler
     };

     $.ajax(request);
