@AllanOricil are you able to see the password policies in your org, specifically whether Allow use of setPassword() API for self-resets is checked or unchecked?
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.securityImplGuide.meta/securityImplGuide/admin_password.htm

This setting can't be re-enabled via ui or config/mdapi if it's disabled because v51 of the mdapi deprecates the setting. https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_securitysettings.htm

I have an update on this.

This is no longer going to work in v51/Spring21

"securitySettings": {
   "passwordPolicies": {
      "enableSetPasswordInApi": true
   }
}

It's now moved to the Features section [only available on scratch orgs]

"features": ["EnableSetPasswordInApi", ....],

[mshanemc]

@AllanOricil can you try your org again using the updated scratchDef to make sure it's working?

[AllanOricil]

@mshanemc I was gonna try it, but I can't even update sfdx

[AllanOricil]

@mshanemc it actually updated, but it threw that error message

Ok, after updating sfdx to 7.84.2, I first configured SFDX to use apiVersion=51.0, then I tried to create a SO with the following configs:

{
  "orgName": "Demo company",
  "edition": "Developer",
  "release": "Preview",
  "features": [
    "Communities", 
    "ContactsToMultipleAccounts",
    "DebugApex",
    "EnableSetPasswordInApi"
  ],
  "settings": {
    "languageSettings": {
      "enableTranslationWorkbench":  true,
      "enableEndUserLanguages": true
    },
    "lightningExperienceSettings": {
      "enableS1DesktopEnabled": true
    },
    "mobileSettings": {
      "enableS1EncryptedStoragePref2": false
    },
    "communitiesSettings": {
      "enableNetworksEnabled": true
    },
    "orgPreferenceSettings": {
      "s1DesktopEnabled": true
    }
  }
}

But I got this error

[AllanOricil]

@mshanemc after changing to apiVersion=50.0 the SO was created with no problem and I was, again, able to generate the password

The problem now is that I can't even create a SO using API v51.0. Before I was able to do it and the only part that was failing was the password generation.

This was fixed and shipped. Re-open or open a new issue if you're still seeing it.
