Hi Kareem, can you please file a bug report?
I am on a long weekend holiday and might forget, 
but maybe you can patch it yourself.

What resetCredentials basically needs to do (but doesn't) is

 * look if the authentication backend is Horde_Auth_Application
 * If so, call 
 $GLOBALS['registry']->setAuthCredential('password', $new_password, $appname);
after 
 $GLOBALS['registry']->setAuthCredential('password', $new_password);
