Description
Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring
Currently the parameter PasswordNeverResets is not very intuitive of what it meant to do, to enforce the password for an account or not. Suggest renaming the parameter to EnforcePassword to clearly show what it is meant to do.
