Okies! you can edit password in /etc/passwd and save it...

After! you will login to system with new password...

Good Luck

on a decently secure system, shadowed passwords will be enabled. Thus, your solution won't work. You can however, edit /etc/shadow and change the minimum passwd expiration. Read the man page for shadow:
man shadow
That will give you what you want

As root:

chage -M x -d 1 username


Where x is the maximum number of days until the user has to change the password. i.e. they will be forced to change the password at next login, and then again in x days.
