Can't change a password for the student

Can't change a password for the student

When I started using Moodle last year I did not have this issue but recently I have been having huge issues with it so Im hoping that I can get some help.  


Every couple weeks my students have an exam and many of them forget their passwords and don't tell me until we sit down to test.  So then I have to give them a temporary password while the others are waiting to test.  This is not so big of an issue but now I can't change it anymore!  If I change the password from my end by editing their profile it doesn't change (or at least not to what I set it to) and then the student has to spend 30 minutes trying to use the "forgot my password" function which still works.  What could be going on?  What do I check.  I have not seen any errors even with MAXIMUM reporting on.
