How can I create a temporary password for a user?

I often have to reset passwords for users who forget their passwords.  Is there a way, in Mac OS X Server 10.6, to reset the password to a temporary password and then require the user to change passwords on login?  (Not for a new user- I've found that option- but for a password reset).  It seems like this should be easy to find, but I can't seem to find that option anywhere.  (It is a rather easy thing to do on Windows Server or Linux, I just can't figure out how to do it on my Mac Server.
Thanks,

Yes, it's easy to do - the same place you'd do it for a new user - Workgroup Manager.
Select the user's account in the directory, then Advanced -> Options and you'll find the optons to set password limits including strength, expiration and forced changes.

  • How can I create a default dock for all users (Mavericks)?

    I would like to modify the dock to display specific installed applications.
    I then want this dock to be the default dock for any users that log in.
    OS is Mavericks.
    All users are AD users.
    No server management.
    We use Deep Freeze to revert the Mac to the way we set it up.
    I can find info for previous versions of OSX; basically just copying the plist, but I can't find anything that works for Mavericks.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    You could set up a user template for new user accounts, but you can’t stop individual users from modifying their Dock to suit their needs.
    I don’t know how to modify the user template, so you’ll have to google for it.

  • How can I create a Forms9i Runtime for client distribution

    Currently we have an application developed in Forms 5.0.6.8.0 our Database has been upgraded to 9i DB. The application is working fine with this combination but we want to upgrade Forms in order to get Oracle Support. We just get the Developer Suite 9i package and we're trying to test our application with this software.
    How can I create the client runtime for Forms 9i?
    My application will work with Win 95 and 98?
    Thanks.

    Oracle9i Forms is web-only. Forms 6i is the last release of Forms to have client/server and character mode.
    You can test Forms from the Builder by installing iDS. To deploy Forms using iAS follow the documentation. It's all there in the deployment guide.
    iAS and Forms doco can be found on OTN.

  • HT204053 how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    Thanks...  I appreciate the reply.  Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)...  I had it working before. 
    Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is...  Pop or Imap?  What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
    I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!

  • HT5622 How can I create an Apple ID for my child without linking it to a credit card?

    How can I create an Apple ID for my child without linking it to a credit card?

    Hi Kappy..
    that did use to be the case but ios 8 you can create a child's Apple ID which will stay linked to the main Apple ID until they are 13 when they can if you wish take over the Apple ID themselves.
    I Have the same question regarding creating an Apple ID for my son but it insists I have to add a credit card to prove I'm an adult.
    thing is I don't have another card to add to my Apple ID I have been using the same card for all my family's Apple purchases i just update my details when I get issued a new one.
    Any ideas or suggestions greatly accepted.
    cheers

    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
    Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password...
