    PasswordResetRequired=True|False
)

  • UserName (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the user whose password you want to update.

    However, the format can be further restricted by the account administrator by setting a password policy on the Amazon Web Services account. For more information, see UpdateAccountPasswordPolicy.
