edit, and "test drive" a user account for security and quality
assurance but cannot view passwords due to its nature, nor should
they utilize accounts without prior consent. Staff members do not
know user passwords and will never ask a user for passwords as they
do not require it to perform administrative tasks. Administrative
staff cannot recover lost passwords due to heavy encryption.
