So if I try FBSecurity.ModifyUser(user) there is no way for it to work unless I 
know the password?

I am trying to write a utility program to add/update/delete users from the 
database, but I don't always know their password so it seems like Update would 
be impossible.

I know it is possible to get the password, since I also use DBWorkbench and 
although I can't see the password, it appears to be there and I can modify 
other fields like FirstName/LastName without knowing the password.

No. It will be a security hole. And passwords are encrypted using one way 
algorithm.
