I like it too. As we use a centralized authentication system named FAS,
if you need to recover your pass, you should be redirected to FAS where
you actually are going to get reset your pass instead of reading how to
get there.

+1 for updating that text to be something more useful
the websites team should be able to help you (either by getting the
perms, or putting you in contact with someone that has them)
you can file a ticket for them here:
