[android-developers] DevicePolicyMgr resetPassword requires android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS on 3.0?

When calling the DevicePolicyManager.resetPassword(newPassword, 0), on
the 3.0 emulator I get a security exception thrown...

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing

$PerformClick.run(View.java:11644)

The Device Admin is active for the calling app and its has resuested
the <reset-password /> permission.

This example works fine on 2.2 devices and emulators.
What changed?
Why does the calling app need an extra permission when its already for
an active device administrator which has been granted the appropriate
permission.

Is the resetPassword supposed to be done differently on 3.0?

Thanks for your help
