Welcome to the Community! As Neally mentioned, when setting a password, some value needs to be passed in. How you get that value is dependent on the code you’re using. If you’re able to provide some of the script you’re using we can assist further.

$users = Get-Content -Path “C:\Users.txt”
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String “NewPassword123” -AsPlainText -Force

foreach ($user in $users) {
Set-ADAccountPassword -Identity $user -NewPassword $password -Reset
}

this the code i am using i was working fine before and yesterday it started prompting me to enter password.

ForEach ($user in (Import-csv ‘c:Temp\users.csv’) )
{

Set-ADAccountPassword -Identity $user.saMAccountName -NewPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -String $user.password -AsPlainText -Force)

}
