Active Directory Unable to reset user passwords
I am managing a Windows Server 2025 Active Directory environment with client machines. I created a test user and enabled the option “User must change password at next logon.” I then provided a temporary password to the user, expecting them to get the prompt to change it on first login.
However, when the user attempts to change the password, they receive the error:
“The user must change password before signing in.”
My goal is that when I provide a temporary password to a user:
They get the prompt to change the password at next logon.
When they change it, it should not throw the “user must change password before signing in” error.
I need guidance on how to achieve this so users can reset their passwords successfully.
