[AccessD] Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Password Change

I have been using the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver version 2 build
2.573.6200.00 for a few years to access Oracle 8 and 9 databases on a
read only basis. All was well until the Oracle DBA's decided - or were
forced to due to Sarbaine/Oxley legislation - make the passwords
expire on a periodic basis on the Oracle user account that is used for
the ODBC connection. The ODBC driver I am currently using doesn't seem
to have the ability to allow the password to be changed, it just fires
an error message window when the expired password is encountered.

ODBC-call failed. Error ORA-28001: the password has expired 

The users could access the acount through SQL+ or another Oracle
terminal tool like SQL Navigator or TOAD but that would be considered
another security risk, so they don't want to provide any of those
tools to the users. They want the users themselves to be able to
change the passwords so that only they will know what the password is
for their account.

Anybody run into this or have any ideas?
