Workbench Discovered

In typical form, I came across the Salesforce Workbench today while looking for the answer to something completely unrelated.  I was reading a cookbook article on developing a mobile app on the relatively new mobile SDK and saw a reference to this Workbench.  It looks like a lot of familiar capabilities like SOQL/SOSL search, object descriptions, etc.., wrapped up in a clean UI.  One capability struck me right away, that almost every sys admin will want to be aware of, is the ability to SET a user's password.  To the best of my knowledge, there was no other way to SET another user's password.  I'm sure most sys admins out there will appreciate this capability.  Check out the rest of the workbench here:
