If you want to manipulate a single page, you can insert some java code in a content editor web part on top of the site.

If you want to change the look and feel of all pages, you can change the master, which is the base of each SharePoint site.
But, be carefully changing the master, as every page relies on it.
The valid procedure is to create site collection feature that contains elements.xml file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <CustomAction
    Id="My.Unique.Name"
    Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.StandardMenu"
    GroupId="PersonalActions"
    Sequence="1001"
    Title="Reset password"
    Description="Redirects you to the password reset page">
    <UrlAction Url="link to your page (the best option would be link to a page in sharepoint site that redirects to the actual reset password page,
say ~sitecollection/redirectpage.aspx)" />
  </CustomAction>
</Elements>
