Answer Wiki:
using CHGUSRPRF command we can reset the password.
To change your own password "CHGPWD" is the command.
If You have an Authority as QSECOFR, Then use the command " WRKUSRPRF" and give the User profile name and then you' will have password field on the screen. you can reset the password there or even you can give specified password there.

To change the password of another user, use the CHGUSRPRF PASSWORD() parameter. To change your own password, use CHGPWD. — Tom
You also need the proper authority to change a password. If you don’t have the authority yo need to talk to someone who does or has access to QSECOFR.
and I suggest you set it to something easy (e.g. same as the profile name) but use the “set password to expired” = *YES and warn the user that he/she must change the password (to what he/she really wants) at the next login. Much more professional than giving you the real password to enter.
