Can user passwords be reset without sending the email notification?

We want our users to click their SSO link to login instead of their usual Salesforce.com login.  IT has requested to rest the users' passwords but not to send them the email notification to reset their password.  Any ideas on how this can be done?

As per my experience no, you can't

Yes, you can do this using apex code. Use System.resetPassword method. Pass the second parameter as false.

System.resetPassword(<UserId>, false);

You can list out all the UserIds in a list and using for loop you can reset:

Open the Developer console, under debug --> open execute anonymous window

List<Ids> resetUserids = new List<String>{'userid1', 'userId2'.............};
for(Id u : resetUserids)
{
       System.setpassword( u, 'desiered password');
}

hit execute
