Parameters

optional. Passwords remain current for a period determined by the
password expiration period.
- PASSExp

set the password expiration period from 0 to 9999 days. A value of 0
means that the password never expires. This parameter is
optional. If you do not specify this parameter the password expiration
period is unchanged.
- CONtact
- Specifies a text string that identifies the administrator. This
parameter is optional. Enclose the text string in quotation marks if it
contains any blanks. To remove previously defined contact information,
specify a null string ("").
- FORCEPwreset
- Specifies whether the administrator is required to change or reset the
password. This parameter is optional. Possible values are:
- No
- Specifies that the administrator does not need to change or reset the
password while attempting to sign on to the server. The password
expiration period is set by the SET PASSEXP command.
- Yes
- Specifies that the administrator's password will expire at the next
sign on. The administrator must change or reset the password at that
time. If a password is not specified, you will receive a syntax
error.
