See man passwd for -n -x options.

-n min Determine the minimum number of days, min, that must
transpire before the user can change the password.


-x max Determine the maximum number of days, max, a password
can remain unchanged. The user must enter another
password after that number of days has transpired,
known as the password expiration time.


Example:

Force user2 to establish a new password on the next login which will
expire in 70 days and prohibit the user from changing the password
until 7 days have transpired:

passwd -r files -f -x 70 -n 7 user2

Hi,
you can expiry the password on an account by:
passwd -f account_name
This marks the password as expired and forces the user to change it the next time they log on.
To set expiry policy, such as time between password changes etc. you can use sam or look at man passwd.
