When I created two test user accounts, I was not able to change the password for either.

@AlexWang You created a new account, logged in with the password that was generated for the account and then could not use the My Account → Change Password screen to change the account's password? Or were you expecting to be able to change a user's password from the Admin → Manage Users → [username] screen?
Administrators purposefully do not have access to alter existing account passwords. There is a related task filed against the Wikimedia-Wikimania-Scholarships application (T90301) to allow a self-service password reset by users. As explained there the current process is manual intervention in the database.
