Does anyone use a maintain application to update the MR password?

You probably could, if you knew the encryption algorithm for paswords that webfocus uses.
Personally, I wouldn't even think of trying to do this.

A change password can be accomplished by mimicking the Change Password page's FORM request with a WFServlet call.

I don't know that much about maintain, but I would think this would work from wherever the call was generated, regardless if it was maintain or anywhere else.

The following is a snippet from the change password page:

<form action="/ibi_apps/WFServlet" method="post" id="form0">
    <input type="hidden" name="IBIMR_action" value="MR_CHANGE_PASS" />
    <input type="text" name="IBIMR_user" value="" />
    <input type="password" name="IBIMR_pass" value="" />
    <input type="password" name="IBIMR_str1" />
    <input type="password" name="IBIMR_str2" value="" />
</form>  

IBIMR_user = the userid
IBIMR_pass = the current password
IBIMR_str1 = The new password
IBIMR_str2 = The new password again
