QuoteTo change this member's username, the forum must also reset their password, which will be emailed to the member with their new username.

I hate this feature. Why do you have to reset the password? Is the password hash linked to the old username? If I was to remove this feature from my forum, would it cause any problems?

Yes, the username and password are hashed together to generate your password. If you removed this feature you could run into problems, your users might not be able to log into your forum.
