PASSWORD_MINDAYS /etc/default/security

[CITEC HP TEAM]

We have set the PASSWORD_MINDAYS=1 in /etc/default/security

Is there a way for root to reset a user's password and then enable the user to change that password without waiting for 1 day?

Thanks.

If you reset the password from the command line, do a:

# passwd -f userid

That will force the user to change the password after successfully logging in.

Hi,

After creating a new user or any old existing user set there password with
passwd -f username
When user login it will ask force to create new passwd.
