Thank you both, Matthew and Greg

I added -p 12-12-12 as a date in the past day 12 month 12 year 12.
I tested and right after entering the account name pw I was asked for a 
new password. That is what I wanted. Matthew gave me the -p option to 
use on the pw adduser command and Greg gave me the clue to use a date in 
the past.
