A user may change his/her password by RUNning SYS$SYSTEM:SETPWD. SETPWD works only from a terminal to preclude password echoing (i.e. you cannot run SETPWD from ANY command procedure). PROMPT #1: Old Password> to which the user must respond with his present password. This protects against malicious changes should you leave your terminal while logged in. PROMPT #2: New Password> The password string must be from one to eight (1-8) characters in length and must contain only alpha-numerics. As with all other password entries, this is terminated with a RETURN. PROMPT #3: Once again..> to which you respond by re-typing the new password exactly as on the previous line. This is to protect against typing mistakes, as none of the passwords are echoed. Normal termination produces no exit message.
