CHANGE PASSWORD 

Changes a password.

Syntax 

     CHA[NGE] PAS[SWORD] OldPassword NewPassword [ UserClass]

Parameters 

OldPassword         is the password to be changed.

NewPassword         is the new password.  Passwords are case sensitive;
                    that is, uppercase is distinguished from lowercase by
                    TurboIMAGE/XL. A password must be from 1 to 8
                    characters long.  It cannot include carriage returns,
                    slashes (/ or \), semicolons (;), or blanks.

UserClass           is the user class to be changed.  If this parameter
                    is omitted, the user class associated with the old
                    password is changed.

Description 

Use this command to change a password.  The OldPassword and NewPassword 
parameters are required.

Example 

     >change password CLERK SALESREP 

In this example, the password CLERK is changed to SALESREP. The user must
enter SALESREP exactly as it is; "salesrep" is not equivalent.

Before the change, the PASSWORDS part of the schema looks like this:

     PASSWORDS:
       11 CREDIT   ;
       12 BUYER    ;
       13 SHIP-REC ;
       14 CLERK    ;   <---- password to be changed 
       18 DO-ALL   ;

After the change, the PASSWORDS part of the schema looks like this:

     PASSWORDS:
       11 CREDIT   ;
       12 BUYER    ;
       13 SHIP-REC ;
       14 SALESREP ;   <---- password changed 
       18 DO-ALL   ;
