PASSWORD
				========

PASSWORD is a utility to save the (hashed) password information of specified
users, so that the password can temporarly be changed by datacenter management
staff for testing purposes. The original password can be restored after testing
etc. has completed.

The information is stored in a keyed indexed file (PWD$DIR:PASSWORD.SAV).
PWD$DIR is the location where all PASSWORD files are located (image, cld, etc).

2. PASSWORD RESTORE User[,...] [/[NO]CONFIRM] /[NO]LOG [/REMOVE]
