I have a list admin who forgot his password. In the past I'd always go to the list web page, enter the site password, and then change the password at the bottom of the general options page.
This always worked in the past, but no longer seems to work. I enter two copies of the new password and click "Submit your changes". The page reloads and there is no error messages given.
If I log out and log back in, the new password is not accepted. I've tried to change the password numerous times this way and it does not seem to work.
I haven't had to reset a password since I upgraded to 2.0.8 and was wondering maybe if there is a bug?

Check the mailman/locks directory and see if someone has the list held open.
To look at the encrypted password (and see if it gets changed) you can use the following command line: ~mailman/bin/dumpdb ~/mailman/lists/<listname>/config.db |grep password
