I've posted entries on this topic before, but never got a complete answer. We have a custom developed application, which Users access thru Nomad Web. Once a User has logged into Nomad, there is a "Change Password" function. But if a User has forgotten their Password, how can it be reset... does an Administrator need to be involved?
This should be whatever process you are using now (same for Nomad as it is for Notes) where you have to have somebody (generally this is the Admin) with access to an ID with password reset authority do the necessary steps.

Other options like Recovery also exist:

Thx Bob,
Having the Notes Admin get involved in reseting a User Password isn't very attractive for our SaaS application. I'm going to check out this Prominic tool... MFA for Domino https://prominic.net/mfa-for-domino/ Apparently, it "Allows users to reset their passwords independently, enhancing convenience and reducing support workload.".
Hi Anon, we are faced to similar problems.
First of all, try this: Setting up the sample self-service application to allow ID vault users to reset their Notes passwords
We did some reverse-engineering and do modifications to the Internet-Password change form, because Security Policies will not work, if a user just work without any Notes Client, just through Verse On Promises, ‘VOP’-> a web frontend. (A password change will still address the old iNotes Form from the 80s, customers don’t accept this so we worked with redirections to a custom form.
Anyway, beside this…
NOMAD means your users don’t have any Notes Client . If they still have a mailbox in Domino, they were able to access VOP. In VOP you got a link also to change the Notes Password (Password of the Notes.id) Maybe this would open up a way?
This Form is accessible by: [yourhostname]/mail/[yourmailfile].nsf/iNotes/Proxy/?OpenDocument&Form=s_ChangePasswordFrame&PresetFields=s_pt;1
This may look close to a solution, but because also here you got no Security Policy-based password requirements and need to redirect to a custom form also here (if you got password requirements).
Also you need to establish a further standard http web service on the Domino if any http request will be redirected to NAMAD.
So - if your users are only able to access the Domino via a Browser (NOMAD): By providing an URL to the configured PwdResetSample.nsf or to a custom Notes password change form (like we did for the Internet Password) in the right context a solution looks like possible.
We never did this web-fronted-Notes-password-change-and-redirect-stuff for the Notes.id password (that password is indeed hold by the IDVault), but we are currently faced to the same problem at another customer.
If we come to a more or less, but working solution, i can post it here. Providing the [yourhostname]/PwdResetSample.nsf to the configured PwdResetSample.nsf should be the easiest way
Or HCL builds a NOMAD build-in solution (?)
ps: → Setting up the sample self-service application to allow ID vault users to reset their Notes passwords
…this idea was “skipped”!
