Research direction
Start with core/Controller/LostController.php at lines 314-370 to understand the existing reset-email flow. Then locate the user-management admin entry point, which the issue does not name. Done means an administrator can trigger the reset email from user management for the stated LDAP/DB-user scenario without relying on the lost-password page.
