Error when trying to reset password of other user

[seancolsen]

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up another Mathesar user (other than the one you're logged in as).

2. Edit the another user and try to reset their password.

3. Observe this error message:

   

   An API request is made to /api/ui/v0/users/2/password_reset/ which returns a Django error

   AttributeError at /api/ui/v0/users/2/password_reset/

   'PasswordResetSerializer' object has no attribute 'validate_password'

   Traceback

I can reproduce this on the latest develop branch as well as the most recent release (Mathesar 0.1.6).
