Hi Thomas
you can use : chpasswd (pkg. shadow-utils)
#!/bin/bash
#i.e in this way it uses std input ( echo pippo:aaaa | chpasswd )
uid='pippo' # userid
psw='aaaa' # get psw
cmd_x="echo $uid:$psw|$chg_psw" # set cmd to chg psw
$cmd_x
......
in other way you can use an input file. .... se chpasswd man page.
Cordiali saluti / Best regards
Marco
