@sudo87 shall we please keep a section for "Password change for users", explain how the password can be changed and the new enforcement which we bought here. I think you have already explaining how a password is changed, we need to change the topic title and few paragraphs.

Thanks @harikrishna-patnala for the feedback. I agree with you, I have restructured the document in following sections:

  1. Add User
  2. Password change for user
  3. Force password reset for user

Please review and let me know if its alright.
