Your question has too wide a scope.  
What part are you having trouble with? Generating a new password,  
sending the new password by mail, or making a scheduler that resets  
passwords older than 15 days?

Hi Sharagoz,

In realy nothing was made yet but i’m searching the best to do that. I  
will try explain again.

My application have any resources that i need to share with others  
users, for example CVs, but i need release the access by send data  
like password and login by email, and ensure validity of login for 15  
days. After 15 days will necessary contact me for reactivate access.

I think that your question is all that i need.
