What password were you asked to reset? iCloud? Apple ID? User password on the computer? Or a web site password?
The computer would not ask you to reset your User password unless you were in System Preferences>Users & Groups and you clicked on change password.

Exactly what kind of notice did you get? Did it give a reason why? Do you have FileVault activated?
Are you - the sole user set as Amin? Do you have Guest user (under other users in User & Groups preference Pan in System Preferences) active?
When you start up your computer, do you need to type in your password or is it set up to automatic login?

A popup on login, asking to reset password. So, I put a new one in and it wasn't acceptable ("check with your server admin"), so I picked another one. I am the sole user with admin privs, there's an inactive guest account that I setup and haven't used for years, and Filevault has been enabled for 4 years. Computer is set to ask for password after 5 mins of screensaver.
I can't even see where the "server admin" would be able to adjust password requirements.
