Default Making or linking to a change email password page.

Hi, is there some way I could make a link that would enable users to ONLY change their email password or link directly to the change password page in Cpanel?

The thing is, I'm managing a website for seniors and they're all used to Outlook Express (!) for checking their email but with all the info about security, they want to be able to change their own passwords on a semi-regular basis. I've showed them how to log in with http://domain/webmail and do it from there but I've found some of them clicking randomly and changing other settings that they shouldn't be.

Is there a way to do this or is it hopeless?

I've gotten as far as this:

hxxp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@www.DOMAIN.com:2095/webmail/x3/mail/dopasswdpop.html?email=EMAIL&domain=DOMAIN.com&pas sword=PASSWORD&quota=QUOTA

However, when I try to go to it through PHP, it still brings up the "enter password" prompt...I can't seem to get it to do it transparently.

in cPanel go to Email Management Tools -> Webmail Manager, click Advanced Options, then Add webmail configuration profile.
Enter a name for the profile, click Add, then uncheck everything but Change Email Password and click Create.
Then assign that profile to every email account.

I'm sorry, but I have a business account on a shared server, and I can not find anywhere in cPanel where to go to: Email Management Tools -> Webmail Manager, click Advanced Options, then Add webmail configuration profile.

Could you be more specific please?

How could I be more specific?
If you don't have that in your cPanel then I am not able to help.

He is right, there is no "Email Management Tools" area in Cpanel on a reseller account..
