Description
admin.sites.root passes password_change information off to contrib.auth, which then calls reverse('django.contrib.auth.password_change_done') to figure out where to 302 the user. However, that fails since that function is not actually hooked up in any urlconf - any admin apps are a thin layer in front of contrib.auth and don't actually associate any urls. This effectively means that any admin's change password functionality is broken - the password is actually changed, but you get a nasty 500 during the process.

If there's a NoReverseMatch, catch it and HttpResponseRedirect to a relative path of 'done/'. *shudder*
