You can choose to expire all user accounts with a loop using the passwd command, forcing them to change their password on next login. Avoid this on system accounts. Eg, user accounts on Linux Debian based systems start at uid 1000. Most system accounts have a disabled password anyway.
From man passwd:
-e, --expire
Immediately expire an account's password. This in effect can force a user to change his/her password at the user's next
login.
There are other related options to take care about (like -i, --inactive which might later disable such accounts).
Use a loop iterating on users (eg using contents of /etc/passwd or more generic using getent passwd [someuser]
