Description
Sets the password for the platform or the domain. There are separate passwords for
each domain and for the platform. If you set a password, entering the password is
required for access to the shell or console.
It is very important to set the password for the platform and each domain even if a
domain is not being used. This prevents people from creating and activating
unauthorized domains.
Prior to allowing the password to be changed, the current password will be
authenticated. Changed passwords take effect immediately. The old password will
no longer be accepted.
You can remove the password by pressing Return at the Enter new password and
Enter new password again prompts.
