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  and guards against
                     typing mistakes.

                     Default if omitted:  prompt up to three times for password.


EXAMPLES

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