At demo.moodle.net, the link just goes to Moodle documentation at http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Capabilities/moodle/user:changeownpassword
So, someone has mucked up the link, but that's not what you need.
I'm looking at Moodle 2.3.2. It looks like you're trying to disable the Teacher's ability. Teacher is roleid=3.
When I edit that role, I see change own password as "Not set." You need to click "Show advanced" above the Filter. At that point you are given the additional options of "Prevent" and "Prohibit."
Thank you, Ben.
I did set up password option as "prohibit".
However, when I log in as a teacher, I can still see the "change password" option in their setting.
Here is the teacher view-link - change pasword option.
How do I disable it?
Hi Anya,
Are you viewing this via "Login As" or by truly logging in as a teacher? Try logging out as you and logging in as a *fake teacher* before you make production server changes.
Because, using "Login as," you are still "Admin." You need to test only with the capabilities of the role, not as "pretending" to be a role. Thus the need for a "fake teacher" or whichever role you want to restrict.
So, specifically, log out as you. Then log in as your fake teacher. Then test what you can do.
Sorry to be so long winded.
Hi Ben,
Just to confirm:
Yes, I logged in as one of the teachers. I used a diferent browser, and the teacher login credentials to login.

Using the Orange School demo site at http://school.demo.moodle.net/ I logged as manager, set changeownpassword to "prohibit." Logged in again as a teacher, I successfully changed my own password.
But, I *think* that is because the teacher also has the role of authenticated user, and authenticated user changeownpassword is set to "allow."
Hmm. If you set it to prevent or prohibit then *probably* everyone but an admin will not be able to change their password.
