The temporary admin would log off after a set time or when the original admin who granted it quits the server.

What do you think?
Right now, a good alternative might be to take advantage of the new admin groups feature. In fact, admin.ini already has a "limited" admin group set up, which may be sufficient. Or it could be made even more restricted, by only allowing commands which are needed to change the level. This way, a special admin pass could be given out to anyone trustworthy, without any serious worries about abuse. Full admin powers would be limited to the people who have it now, and they would use the regular password.

Edit: Heh, seems DanZeal already had this idea, or one like it. Well, that just shows it's a good one.
