  • Automatically create a password - The Microsoft 365 Admin Centre will generate a password for the user on your behalf
  • Require this user to change their password when they first sign in - This means that the user will need to set their own unique password before the service can be used (We recommend for users to visit Webmail to do this)
  • Click Reset Password
  • You will then be presented with the following screen which confirms the password has been successfully reset
