(RADIATOR) password modification via radiator

I saw an earlier thread talking about changing the password using radiator, 
and the response was to change the password in the appropriate file. I am 
wanting a way to do this via radiator. Let me explain it a bit.

We have a new group of customers coming on from a different isp (buyout) and 
we want it to be as seamless as possible.

We want to be able to check vs their "current" password and if it fails (which 
it should do) then it auths with a "different" password. if it auths with 
that pw, we will note it in the logs and change the "different" password with 
the "current" password. The key here is for the customer to never know that 
their orig password was not correct to begin with. 

The logging of their current password isn't an issue, the issue is getting 
them to auth using the "different" password. 

I see where a newer version of radiator could allow for this by using 
NoCheckPassword, but the version we are using is 2.18 and it doesn't have 
this function. I was thinking of using some sort of preauth hook, but am 
unsure how to change the password.
