CHPASS (CHANGE_PASSWORD) -- Change a login password.
usage:  CHPASS [new_password]


FORMAT

  CHPASS [new_password]


  CHPASS changes your login password to 'new_password.'  CHPASS allows you to
  change your password from the Shell command level.

  In order for this command to work properly, the network registry must have
  been sealed so it is owned by the LOGIN subsystem.  See the help files for
  CRSUBS, SUBS, and ENSUBS, plus HELP PROTECTION, for more information on
  protected subsystems and the objects they protect.

  Your login password can also be changed using the -P option under the L (LOGIN)
  Display Manager command.  See HELP L for details.


ARGUMENTS

  new_password
  (optional)       Specify new password.  Omitting this option causes CHPASS
                   to prompt for your new password. Input echo is disabled.
                   A second prompt verifies the password.

EXAMPLE

  $ chpass sesame             Set new login password to "sesame."
