Reset passwords in Apple School Manager
When users forget their password, you can reset it. Resetting their password allows them to get a temporary password, at which time they’ll have to create a new password for their Managed Apple ID.
Resetting passwords
Students have two ways they can reset a password:
They can use the password that was previously used.
They can use a common series, such as 12345.
This option is allowed only when resetting a password.
