SYNTAX
       Configure the password component within the auth module using the

   USAGE
	modify password

DESCRIPTION
       If you are assigned the user role of Administrator or User Manager, you
       can change another user's password.

       For example, from within the auth module, run the following command
       sequence: modify password [user name].

       The system prompts you for a new password for the specified user, and
       then to confirm the new password.

       If you are assigned any other user role, the system prompts you to
       change your own password, and then confirm the new password.

       To change a password from within another module, use the full path to
       the password.

EXAMPLES
       (tmos.auth)# modify password

       From within the auth module, displays the new password: prompt.

       (tmos.gtm)# modify / auth password
