How do students create a password when they join via a self-enroll link?

I'm using the free version in my classes right now.  My students created accounts using the link provided in settings.  They created new accounts.  When it asked for their username, it never allowed them to set a password.  Now they are trying to log back in but it is asking for a password.  How do they create one?  Their emails are recognized as having been signed up via Canvas.

Kim,

I really don't know for sure, but from the login page isn't there a forgot password link?  I bet they can use that, enter their email address and have a link sent to reset their password.  In our instance of Canvas when we create guest accounts we have people use that method to set up their initial password on the system.
