Because the PasswordService doesn't have an api in shared (and it isn't
itself) in shared, I'm not sure you could do that. You probably could set
their password as an random bit of strings though, it doesn't have to go
through this service if you don't care if it *works* or not, just that it
locks them out?
You could probably even just store it in the password field as "*"+their
password, then just remove the first character to unlock. That's what the
old unix lockout used to be right?
