Hello Taina,

 I don't know if this is the preferred/recommended/offically sanctioned
by Bob way to do this but if you have shell access to the mailman system
then in the 'bin' sub-directory of the mailman installation is a python
script called  change_pw. Quickly scanning through it it says in its
preamble:

"Thus, this script generates new passwords for a list, and optionally
sends it to all the owners of the list."

Take a look at that. It may just fit your needs.
