There is no way to change another user's password with the client SDK.

Firebase Authentication doesn't have any concept of an admin user. That means that it can't grant special privileges to a user that you consider an admin.

There is however an Admin SDK, that runs with administrative privileges, and has the option to change the password (and other profile data) of any user in the project. This SDK is meant to be used on a so-called trusted environment, such as your development machine, a server you control, or Cloud Functions.

You could wrap the Admin SDK in an API endpoint that you can call from your web client code. Just be sure to check in the custom function whether the user is authorized to change the password.
