Changing passwords?

OK, we all know the joys of hacking a box in Uplink, seeing all of the Password_Cracker's letters spin to a stop, and clicking the Proceed button. There's one question I have though...

On servers with account records (most banks, some internals, all mainframes), you can view somebody's password, but can't change it. This is weird, as you should be able to change whatever you want if you are (or have the password of) the admin. This'd also prevent passive tracing of your connection; simply change the admin's password, and he can't log in to review the logs.

Why can't this be done, and if and when will it be implemented if it can't?

I agree with Vogon Jeltz, there should be changeable passwords. Think it could be done by making a mod?

He can´t because he doesn´t know the password so he can´t get in. Unless Sylph-DS gave all the free software to him so that he can get in.
