Answer 1

The cms has a plugin for changing the password via the ui. You could take a look at that for inspiration. See org.hippoecm.frontend.plugins.cms.admin.users.User.savePassword(String) for an example.

Perhaps this page can help some as well: http://www.onehippo.org/7_8/library/administration/users.html

Essentially it is a property on a node. So if you can get the node you can change it.
