Description

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.

Mindisk passwords must contain printing characters only; they cannot contain blanks or left or right parentheses.

Password changes made with this command are not processed by the PASSWORD or MINIDISK 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.
