Set an eperson's password, if the passwords they typed match and are acceptible. If all goes well and the password is set, null is returned. Otherwise the problem is returned as a String.

Parameters:

eperson - the eperson to set the new password for

request - the request containing the new password

Returns:

true if everything went OK, or false
