Lee - Typically users are forced to change their password if you uploaded them using a CSV file and created a password of changeme. I'm not sure how it handles a blank password. In any case, if you are sure you want to not force the password change for any of your users you could do something like:

UPDATE mdl_user_preferences
SET value=0
WHERE name='auth_forcepasswordchange' and value=1;

As with any direct manipulation of the database, make sure you know what you are doing and that you have a good back up before starting. I hope this helps.
