Using ACF CHANGE to Change the PWPHRASE Field

Changes can be applied to a password phrase by the individual user or by a user with security privileges. When changing another user's password phrase you must have security privileges.

To modify your password phrase

To enter USER profile administration issue the following from the ACF command:
```
SET PROFILE(USER) DIVISION(PWPHRASE)
```
Change your password phrase by issuing the following:
```
CHANGE logonid PWPHRASE
```
The following message displays asking you to enter your current password. Your password phrase can be used also.
```
ACFpgm260R ENTER YOUR CURRENT CA ACF2 PASSWORD
```
Enter your current password.
The following message displays asking you to enter a new password phrase:
```
ACFpgmB15R Enter new CA-ACF2 password phrase
```
Enter your new password phrase.
The following message displays requesting you to verify the new password phrase:
```
ACFpgmB14R Enter new CA-ACF2 password phrase again to verify
```
The PHWPHRASE record displays verifying that the changes were made.

To modify another user's password phrase

Change another user's password phrase by issuing the following:
```
CHANGE logonid PWPHRASE
```
The following message displays asking you to enter your current password. Your password phrase can be used also.
```
ACFpgm260R ENTER YOUR CURRENT CA ACF2 PASSWORD
```
Note: You must have security privileges to change another user's password phrase.
Enter your current password.
The following message displays asking you to enter a new password phrase:
```
ACFpgmB15R Enter new CA-ACF2 password phrase
```
Enter your new password phrase.
The following message displays requesting you to verify the new password phrase:
```
ACFpgmB14R Enter new CA-ACF2 password phrase again to verify
```
The PHWPHRASE record displays verifying that the changes were made.
Change one or more users' password phrase at a time by issuing the following:
```
CHANGE LIKE(lidmask) PWPHRASE
```

You have successfully changed the password phrases if the PWPHRASE record listing appears on the screen after responding to the prompts, or the number or records changed is displayed if the LIKE format is used. With either of these formats, you must literally enter the word PWPHRASE in the CHANGE subcommand. The subsequent CA ACF2 for VM prompting ensures that CA ACF2 for VM does not display the new password phrase on the terminal.
