The system notifies the user at the login prompt, 7 days before the password expiration date, their
password is about to expire. When the password expires, the user needs to enter a new password into the
system before logging in.
Changing a Login
This section shows you how to change a user’s login. You may need to change a user’s password because
it has expired. To change a login’s attributes, you must be a superuser with authority to administer
permissions.

Type the new login name as part of the change command. The name must be 3–6 alphanumeric
