You shouldn’t have to send them passwords. That’s a bad idea.
Instead, make sure your web server has email setup properly and your user accounts have the correct email addresses. Then all you’ll have to do is send them the link to the Forgot Password link provided by WordPress by default. It looks like this: http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword.
Then from that page they’ll be able to reset their passwords using their own email address.
Alternatively, you may use a plugin like Bulk Password Reset or Emergency Password Reset to reset the passwords and send the password reset link to your users.
Whichever method you follow, you must make sure your web server can send email to your users properly.
