Answer


Due to "Require Password Change on First Login" enabled, the very next login after password reset and commit, would result in password change prompt.
This is expected behaviour of "Require Password Change on First Login". To avoid the behaviour, consider unchecking "Require Password Change on First Login" under Minimum Password Complexity.
