You likely want to grant Privileged users the global right ModifySelf.
This question was last answered on the list three weeks ago, and it and
many other answers to your question pops up when you search the mailing
list for "change password".

If you found the documentation or the wiki less than enlightening about
this topic, please submit a patch that improves the documentation or
update the wiki.  As a start, adding a note to the section of the wiki
you found above would be great.
