== Guidelines for Answering Password Reset Questions ==
# Consider the context.
# There's no need to answer if you don't feel comfortable, but don't prevent others from answering.
# However, by all means, if you feel comfortable answering, treat it as you would any other question.
# Avoid duplicating information. Instead, link to the canonical password reset question for that device.
# With great power comes great responsibility.

== Community Rationale ==
Resetting a password is a standard service procedure that is documented by the manufacturer and should also be documented on iFixit. Of course, it makes complete sense to be wary about specifically telling someone who is acting suspicious.
This discussion has a lot of similarities to Stack Overflow's [http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/10811/homework-on-stackoverflow|community policy on asking homework questions]. Context and honesty matters, and has a case-by-case impact on whether a question should be answered.
