If you want the user to be prompted you can do this via the CLI (obviously change your user name and admin password):

splunk edit user test_user -force-change-pass true -auth admin:changeme

Or via the API:

curl -k -u admin:changeme https://localhost:8089/services/authentication/users/test_user -d force-change-pass=true

Or if you want to set the new password outright:

splunk edit user <username> -auth admin:<admin_password> -password <password>
