How to Bulk Reset Password in PureHow to Bulk Reset Password in Pure

What

If it is required to bulk reset passwords for a number of users NOT using SSO in Pure, this can be done using the below method.

NOTE
If users logs in via any external authentication systems based on SAML2, LDAP/AD, CAS, Radius etc. where passwords are managed in those systems they are not affected as the password handling is managed in those systems. So following these steps will not reset their passwords. This is only for users who logs in directly via the Pure login page.
