Description
Currently, to change a user's password the admin user must got to the change user form, find the password field and click a link in its help text.
For better user guidance and accessibility, I suggest turning this link into a button:
As David Smith pointed out, links in help texts are not read by screen readers:
"Do not include links within hint text. While screen readers will read out the link text when describing the field, they will not tell users that the text is a link." (https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/text-input/#hint-text).
I'll be happy to provide a patch.
