Any script to do that would need to run as root because that is the only account that won't be prompted for the old password.
How will you positively identify the user? Ask them to enter their email address and then send them a link to do the password reset?
Where is the web server for you to do that? Assuming you have a web server you then have to have a mechanism for a URL link to call in (on a specific port perhaps) and run a script as root. Probably a substantial security risk.
