If the user needs to reset the password, use the Create password option to generate a temporary password. A temporary password meets the conditions defined in the password policy (strong or weak). The first time the user logs in to the system under a temporary password, the user is asked to change it.

You can create a password via Basic data in selected user as well. The password must be at least 5 characters long. Empty password is not generated. Copy the temporary password via Ctrl+V. The copied password can be pasted into e-mail, note book,...
