By default liferay will send an email with default password when an user is created,check Admin portlet.
If you need to create and login id and set temporary password that also is possible, just check the option (change password) this option will make the user to change password on first login.
This feature is as per liferay 4.0.0 - 4.2.1 I have not tried 4.3
