How can I allow dial-up users on my NT 4.0 Internet server change their passwords when they next logon after I have created their user accounts?

It may be rather risky but can be done. While creating a new user in the User Manager for Domains for that particular dial-up user you should select the option "user must change password at first/next logon". These will allow the dial-up user to change his password on first/next logon.

There is one person in the organisation who needs a secure password. I have tried the option "user must change password at next logon" but it does not work. Bye the way what are the risks involved? Thanks.

When defining the user, there's a checkbox called "user must change password at first/next logon" that should be checked
If this does not work, look under policies if "requiered password" is enabled.
