Reset bulk passwords

Hi, can someone tell me if we can easily reset bulk selected passwords for our users?  We have a few hundred users we're asking to log back into Totara but we expect they will have forgotten their passwords.  We do not have an automatic generation of forgotten passwords enabled on our site (we are doing it manually on request because of an email issue we have).

I read on the Moodle forums that there is a way to do it through an Admin plug-in and uploading a csv file - but we want to avoid that.

I suspect the answer is 'no', but I'd be grateful for confirmation.

Cheers, Ali

Hi Ali

I can't see any options for bulk selecting passwords under Site Admin

If you are able to get access to user details in a file there are some options below.

Site Admin > Accounts > Upload users

Under Update type select Update existing users only

Under Existing user details select Override with file

Existing user password select Update
