On this page, you can choose to send an automatic notification to the user that you have reset the password.Initial Password: Shows the password assigned to this user when it was first added to the service. Or, indicates the password has been changed. Users are prompted to set a new password when they first log in to the Message Center, so you can find out here whether the user has done so.

For information about setting password requirements for users, see Set User Password Policies.
