Changing password for the first time for local auth enabled user from API

[NDY]

Hi,

We have created a local auth enabled account that needs to access Saviynt only through API. When the user first login they need to reset the password. The user does not get the authorization token because the password has to be reset first. As such the first password cannot be reset and user cannot get into the environment.

Is there a way the user can reset the password for the first time through API? What would be the best solution in this case?
