The PASSWORD command changes the logon password or all passwords for a specific user ID. It can do so with specified or randomly generated passwords, or it can force users to specify their own new passwords.
Minidisk passwords are changed only if they have link passwords.
Minidisk passwords are not changed if you are configured for password phrases, and a password phrase is entered in response to a prompt. Entering a password phrase results in the LOGON option being assumed.
Traditional passwords must contain printing characters only; they cannot contain blanks, left, or right parentheses.
Password phrases can contain blanks and any characters that can be typed on the keyboard.
Password changes made with this command are not processed by the PASSWORD or MDSK user exit, if defined.
Minidisk passwords of ALL are unaffected by the PASSWORD command.
Whenever a password is changed, a record indicating the user ID whose password was changed, the type of password change, and the new password is appended to the file PASSWORD CHANGES A0. This file is written to your A‑disk. A read/write A‑disk is required.
