That's right.

Than the user who wants to use this feature has to enable it in his
personal settings "Enable password recovery by sharing all files with
your administrator".

Now if the user loses his password the admin can go to the user
management, enter the recovery password and than set a new password for
the user. This will automatically recover the users file to the new
log-in password.

cheers,
Björn
