Changing a user’s password

If a user forgets their password, perform the following procedure:
1. From the CMS Main Menu, highlight the Commands Screen-Labeled Key (SLK).
CMS displays the Commands menu.
2. Select UNIX (r) system.
The screen clears and a $ prompt is displayed.
3. Enter the following command:
su
4. At the Password: prompt, enter the root password.
The # prompt is displayed.
5. Enter the following command:
passwd <userid>
Where <userid> is the ID of the user who needs a new password.
Solaris displays a prompt for the new password.
6. Enter a new password for the user.
Solaris displays the # prompt.
7. Enter the following command:
passwd -f <userid>
Where <userid> is the ID of the user with a new password.
Solaris displays the # prompt.
The passwd -f command will force the user to change their password the next time they
log in to CMS.
8. Enter the following command:
exit
Solaris displays the $ prompt.
 
Awesome......except it did not ask me for a new password...it just stated this..."passwd: password information changed for ebrown"
