Change password from a non Notes client

I have clients that use Outlook 98. The backend is Domino. Mail is the only thing they require access for from Domino. How can they change there email password on the server side without actually going to the Domino server. I do not have web enabled email. Is this a easy option to invoke?
Currently if a user requests a password change I make it and notify them of the new password. Major pain.

This is not possible.  What u can do, since they dont have notes, u can design an application that is run on the browser, some sort of an intranet thingy, that will enable users to change their passwords.  If u r familiar with scripting and programming u will be able to do this.  In the notes.net there is a template called 'Domino Registration Database':

There are a couple of agents in there 'Handle change password request' & 'Handle new account request'. The first one is made of 2 scripts found in the script library under design, 'Modifiable Constants' & 'Request Utilities'. In first u can specify the file name of the address book where ur users are registered.  In the second library is where the real work gets done.  The forms are there as well, u only need to modify this for your own needs.

I would like to leave this question open longer. Your answer has given me new information but I'm looking for more of a cookie cutter solution. I have very limited notes experience and am not a programmer(Network guy!). If no one else comes up with a no-brainer solution for me I'll award you the points.
no problem, I understand!:)
Hi feedback, I fear ghassan99 gave you the best answer possible unless you find somebody actually providing you with a working example.
The Domino User Registration database is a fully working app. He just needs to deploy it on his server and access it from the browser! Thats it! There was a question earlier about the agents in this app, he just needs to sign them, and simply by saving them. Its even a small file around 50KB.
Allright!!! No reason to blow up. I was just looking into this database and figured out that one doesn't need much effort to make it work.

You deserve the points :-)
Without having web services enabled on the domino server can I do this?
No, u must enable the HTTP task.
ghassan99 please repost as answer, thanks.

Played around with it a bit. Like I said, I'm a network guy. The location I'm at has lots of Notes programmers, time to pull some favors! Thanks again.
