I'm no expert with all this but the following method will force a user to
change their password on next log in.
This does one user at a time. I don't know of a way to do this in bulk.
Since this would be done infrequently that might be OK.
The method below that gets all the users, 100 at a time and checks if is a
staff account. If so, it does forceUserToChangePassword
The second method was altered from its original purpose so may need some
work. I have been toying with the idea of making a series of single purpose
java programs that do tasks like this one. If your interested maybe we could
come up with a basic framework that we could use as a starting point for
modules like this one and make them available as open source on Google Code.
/**

*
