Enabling password resetting

Users or administrators with the correct permissions can reset users' passwords to new passwords that are generated by IBM Verify Identity Governance. Alternatively, depending on the password settings of Identity Manager, users or administrators might be able to change users' passwords to new passwords. The new passwords must be manually specified within the limits of the password policy.
