You can't easily, I think.  You could enter their membership e-mail on the 
sign-in form and that would generate a new password mailed to that address.

If you're logged in as that user, go to http://yoursite/prefs/

If you have server access, go to:
yourSiteManilaWebsite.["#membershipGroup"].users....

On the password front, if the password is not md5-hashed you can enter it 
directly there too.  If it is md5-hashed you could set it with a quick 
script, I think:

yourSiteManilaWebsite.["#membershipGroup"].users.["theiremail"].password=string.hashMD5("newpassword")

completely untested.
