user password [<clientname>]
| Parameter | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <clientname> | This parameter is required when the admin user sets other user's passwords. It is optional for other users setting their own passwords. The user name option can be used by the admin user to specify any user that has been created. Users other than ‘admin’ may specify their own user name or leave the option blank. Users with the "admin" role can change their own passwords and other named users' passwords. The password is not input with the command - it is prompted after the command is issued, and the typed input is not displayed, for security reasons. |
