On clicking the Next button a New Form will be opened in which you need to provide the Password for the new user. Your server will ask you to re-enter the password so that if by mistake you provide the wrong password then you can correct it.

There are four other options also from which you can select whether you want to provide permission to the user to change the password on its next logon or you want to restrict him so that he can't change the password. You can also check the "Password never expires" option or you can also disable the account of the user.
