depends where your password is stored, or what auth mech do you use i.e
with running on seperate sql server, configure roundcube to change pass
there, for sure your roundcube must be able to connect to external sql
server, so specially have a look at your firewall rules, ideally a
secondary private net is used for sql traffic

perhaps look at

http://trac.roundcube.net/browser/github/plugins/password

but i am no expert in roundcube, if this is the right plugin, for
problems as their list
