### Description:
It seems that admins lost ability in Rocket.Chat 2.3.0 to set a password for new users or reset the password for any old user.
Issue may be related to removal of E2E-password reset functionality from admins in #15777
### Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Admin-console -> Users
2. Create a new user and try to set password for it, or try to reset password of any old user.
3. There is no password field or password reset option anywhere
### Expected behavior:
Admins should be able to create accounts with known password to them (to give it out to new user), or reset passwords for old users.
### Actual behavior:
There is no user password field or reset option to be found.
### Server Setup Information:
- Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 2.3.0
- Operating System: CentOS 7
- Deployment Method: tar
- Number of Running Instances: 20
- DB Replicaset Oplog: enabled
- NodeJS Version: 8.15.1
- MongoDB Version: 3.6
### Client Setup Information
- Desktop App or Browser Version: Firefox 70.0.1 and Chromium 78
- Operating System: Fedora 31
At a guess they will keep it open and hope that eventually people stop complaining and then quietly close it again (their biggest install base on snaps are up to 2.3.x so that would create the most noise)
Note this change means that you Rocket now has a hard dependency on email… good luck.
