How to set Initial passwords for Users using script

[Siris]

How about setting password via script? We've been using bg script for this, but script cannot set initial password for them. Error is Not Authorized-

user.user_password.setDisplayValue('examplePassword')

Should I change something in properties or ACLS?

@Siris This should work in BG if you are running it with admin user. If it is not working then you might have some additional ACLS on your instance.

Though this is a security breach and should not be done. This can lead to major security breach.

Please mark the answer correct/helpful accordingly.
