got in touch with someone who passed along a fix for this. scripts that
control the lcd are in /etc/lcd.d and the one that runs this function is
reset_password. they weren't sure what would happen if i removed the
entire thing but it should be ok if i modified the code a bit. so i
modified it a little and everything seems to be peachy with it now.
