This code allows someone with the role of "ADMIN" or "OPERATOR" to reset a user's password. The role of "OPERATOR" is intended to have less privileges than an "ADMIN", but still be able to help users with small issues such as forgotten passwords.

}
}
}break;break;break;System.out.println("You must be logged in to perform this command");This code does not check the role of the user whose password is being reset.
