Which of the following should be done before resetting a user’s password due to expiration?

A.
Verify the user’s domain membership.

B.
Verify the user’s identity.

C.
Advise the user of new policies.

D.
Verify the proper group membership.

Explanation:
When resetting a password, users have to establish their identity by answering a series of
personal questions, using a hardware authentication token, or responding to a password
notification e-mail. Users can then either specify a new, unlocked password, or ask that a
randomly generated one be provided. This can be done from their workstation login prompt, or
through a telephone call.
