Hi Iavanya,

I assume that you will get userid in apex and once you have that you can call

  
public void updateUser()
{
objUser.isactive=true;
update objUser;
System.resetPassword(userid,false);
}



Thanks,
Himanshu

HI Lavanya,
Are you talking about Community/Portal user ? That when you click teh checkbox in contact then teh user related to contact will be active and it will send for reset password link to user ?

If yes then you need write logic in your VF page controller or extension to collect the checked contact Id and then Query from user to get the related users which are inactive .then you can follow what HImansu has posted .

Here one more thing I need to tell you that

public static System.ResetPasswordResult resetPassword(ID userId, Boolean sendUserEmail)
resetPassword method wil take id and boolean .You need to pass the Id of user and boolean if you make true then it will send email to the user inbox to reset the password .

If the contact is not related to community or portal then which user you want to do the action .

If you want to do with other approach you can check below links in appexchage there are two application to reset mass usser's password .
