You can set the password to expire virtually immediately: pw usermod -n username -p +1m or add the '-p +1m' bit to the 'pw useradd' line used to create the account. I believe this will mean the user is required to set a new password on login after the password has expired. Might be an idea to test that though. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
