NAME
passwd - modify the system administrative users password
SYNOPSIS
passwd
DESCRIPTION
passwd changes the filers administrative users password. First it prompts you
for the login name (if any non-root users are configured). Then it prompts you for
the current password. If you type the current password correctly, the filer
requests a new password. The passwd command imposes no minimum length
or special character requirements for  root. As with any password, it is best to
choose a password unlikely to be guessed by an intruder. All non-root administra-
tive users password should meet the following restrictions:
- it should be at least 6 characters long
- it should contain at least two alphabets
- it should contain at least one digit or special character
If the filer is booted from floppy disk, selection (3) Change password
enables you to reset the root password without entering the old
password.
