How to change User Status FORCE_CHANGE_PASSWORD?

Question

Using AWS Cognito, I want to create dummy users for testing purposes.

I then use the AWS Console to create such user, but the user has its status s

I know It is the same answer, but thought it might help Go developer community. basically it is initiating auth request, get the session and respond to the challenge NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED

func sessionWithDefaultRegion(region string) *session.Session {
    sess := Session.Copy()
    if v := aws.StringValue(sess.Config.Region); len(v) == 0 {
        sess.Config.Region = aws.String(region)
    }

    return sess
}



func (c *CognitoAppClient) ChangePassword(userName, currentPassword, newPassword string)   error {

    sess := sessionWithDefaultRegion(c.Region)
    svc := cognitoidentityprovider.New(sess)

    auth, err := svc.AdminInitiateAuth(&cognitoidentityprovider.AdminInitiateAuthInput{
        UserPoolId:aws.String(c.UserPoolID),
        ClientId:aws.String(c.ClientID),
        AuthFlow:aws.String("ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH"),
        AuthParameters: map[string]*string{
            "USERNAME": aws.String(userName),
            "PASSWORD": aws.String(currentPassword),
        },

    })



    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    request := &cognitoidentityprovider.AdminRespondToAuthChallengeInput{
        ChallengeName: aws.String("NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED"),
        ClientId:aws.String(c.ClientID),
        UserPoolId: aws.String(c.UserPoolID),
        ChallengeResponses:map[string]*string{
            "USERNAME":aws.String(userName),
            "NEW_PASSWORD": aws.String(newPassword),
        },
        Session:auth.Session,
    }


    _, err = svc.AdminRespondToAuthChallenge(request)

    return err 
}

Here's a unit test:

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/cognitoidentityprovider"
    . "github.com/smartystreets/goconvey/convey"
    "testing"
)


func TestCognitoAppClient_ChangePassword(t *testing.T) {


    Convey("Testing ChangePassword!", t, func() {
        err := client.ChangePassword("user_name_here", "current_pass", "new_pass")



        Convey("Testing ChangePassword Results!", func() {
            So(err, ShouldBeNil)

        })

    })
}
