I just had another thought.  Rather than redefining "setpassword" to
simply do "{ pop pop }", it ought to help you out a little bit.  How
about this one:

statusdict begin
    /setpassword {
	initgraphics	% make sure graphics state is clean
	showpage	% in case there's already a page in there
	/Helvetica findfont 72 scalefont setfont
	72 600 moveto
	(Someone is) show
	72 500 moveto
	(trying to) show
	72 400 moveto
	(change your) show
	72 300 moveto
	(password!) show
	showpage
    } bind def
end

If the spooler can tell which userID downloads a job, you might even
have it report the userID of the one who tried to set the password.

Anyway, fun and games with PostScript...
