Not that I know of. However if the SUPERVISOR account is locked out the 
Console Command ENABLE LOGINS will will reset the SUPERVISOR account.

This will only affect the SUPERVISOR account and no others.

WARNING if you are using the Console Lock feature of the MONITOR.NLM any
failed attempt at the password will be taken as an attempt at the SUPERVISOR
password.

It is recommended that the SUPERVISOR password is not used for the Console
Lock password because if the SUPERVISOR account is locked you are stuck.

Hope THAT helps...
