I don't know of any pre-packaged solutions offhand. That's probably because there is no one standardized place to put user passwords, and exactly how you plan to reset the password can vary (send user a new one? point them to a page that lets them retrieve a random one or lets them choose a new one? etc...). Also there are any number of ways to verify that the user is the actual one who owns the account, some of which are implicitly linked to how you sign the users up (did you collect a secondary email address? tell them to create some security questions? etc....). Therefore, it's really hard to build a one-package-does-it-all system for this kind of thing. It's of course straight-forward to build a system to your specifications once you've decided on them.
