You can define system wide password policy in file called
Quote:
/etc/default/paaswd
to field called MINWEEKS. Being a root user you can change the password for any user with passwd <username>, you can unlock the account of individual user by editing the /etc/shadow in the second column you can see LK, you can keep that filed blank.
