How to transfer accounts and passwords when upgrading a solution

I have the following problem:

How can I inform users that their password has changed BEFORe they try to login? (besides sending an email)??

Here's the situtation:

File hosted on Server, with about 20 users (privilege sets: Data Entry or Manager).

I am upgrading to new version; have transferred all the data, including the account names from old solution. I am recreating these account names in the new solution, but I have to set the password to a generic one since I do not know it (or leave empty; user has to change it after first login) . Unless I send out an email to warn users, first time they try to login, they will not be able to.... is there a way to let them know while (or before) they first login?

Thanks for any help!
