Why each option
When an administrator resets a user's password, the user might need to activate their device for security, and if the user was locked out, their account will be automatically unlocked.
Resetting a specific user's password does not alter the organization-wide or profile-specific password policy configured in Salesforce.
While single sign-on (SSO) users can often reset their passwords, this action typically occurs within their identity provider system, not Salesforce's native 'forgot password' link.
After an administrator resets a user's password, Salesforce security settings, such as device activation, might require the user to verify their identity on a new browser or device before successfully logging in. This is a common security measure to ensure the user is who they claim to be, especially after a password change.
If a user's account is locked due to too many failed login attempts, an administrator resetting their password will automatically unlock the account, allowing the user to attempt logging in again with the new credentials. This is a standard administrative action to resolve a locked account status.
