I suggest to harmonize the two functions with the goal, that also the temporary password (newPassword) can be made invalid by passing a null parameter. 

Current version does not allow to clear the temporary password, but I wish to have thar for E:OpenID .

Current code in User.php is:

	/**
	 * Set the password and reset the random token unconditionally.
	 *
	 * @param string|null $str New password to set or null to set an invalid
	 *  password hash meaning that the user will not be able to log in
	 *  through the web interface.
	 */
	public function setInternalPassword( $str ) {
		$this->load();
		$this->setToken();

		if ( $str === null ) {
			// Save an invalid hash...
			$this->mPassword = '';
		} else {
			$this->mPassword = self::crypt( $str );
		}
		$this->mNewpassword = '';
		$this->mNewpassTime = null;
	}

	/**
	 * Set the password for a password reminder or new account email
	 *
	 * @param string $str New password to set
	 * @param bool $throttle If true, reset the throttle timestamp to the present
	 */
	public function setNewpassword( $str, $throttle = true ) {
		$this->load();
		$this->mNewpassword = self::crypt( $str );
		if ( $throttle ) {
			$this->mNewpassTime = wfTimestampNow();
		}
	}
