Changing a Password in the Database 

To change a password, use the CHANGE PASSWORD command.  In this section,
a password is changed in the ORDERS database.  Before changing a
password, the REVIEW PASSWORDS command output looks like this:

           User Class     Password
           -----------------------

              11          CREDIT
              12          BUYER
              13          SHIP-REC
              14          CLERK
              15          MANAGER
              18          DO-ALL

     >

In the example below, the password CLERK is changed to the password
SALESREP. The DBCPLUS program returns a message confirming the change of
the password.

     >change password CLERK SALESREP 
      Change of password accepted.

     >

Refer to "CHANGE PASSWORD" in chapter 10, "DBChange Plus Commands," for a
detailed description of the command syntax and parameters.

If you want to verify the password change, use the REVIEW PASSWORDS
command.  In the following example, you can see that the password is
changed:

     >review passwords @  

     REVIEW PASSWORDS:

           User Class     Password
           -----------------------

              11          CREDIT
              12          BUYER
              13          SHIP-REC
              14          SALESREP     <---- * 
              15          MANAGER
              18          DO-ALL
