I'm not sure what you meant by this last answer...but:

The correct answer is first to set the "must change at next logon" flag via
user manager or "net sam set pwdmustchangenow" command.  The second part
requires setting the policy, using "net sam policy" , setting "maximum
password age", or again using user manager to set the account policy for
this.
