1.) Firstly, lock the account to prevent the user from using the login until the change has been made:

# usermod -L <username>

2.) Change the password expiration date to 0 to ensure the user changes the password during the next login:

# chage -d 0 <username>

3.) To unlock the account after the change do the following:

# usermod -U <username>
