WCLN updates default test passwords in the course releases each year.   Districts are encouraged to use their own passwords in courses.

In order to change the passwords for release, we've developed a tool that allows a logged-in admin to change all the passwords in a course.  

There is an option to "Update blank passwords". If this option is NOT enabled then only quizzes/tests that currently have passwords will be updated to the password you provide; those with no current passwords will continue to have no passwords.
