Changing an administrator password
An administrative user can change his or her own password using the update
admin command. A user with system privilege can change any administrator's
password. There is no way to determine the current password for an
administrator—if it is forgotten or lost, another administrator must reset it.
Therefore you should always have two administrator IDs at a minimum.
Example 8-7 shows changing the password for the administrator named
TSMADMIN2 to SHARKS.

tsm: ATLANTIC>
ANR2071I Administrator TSMADMIN2 updated.
When this command is logged to the server activity log, the password in the log is
replaced by asterisks (*), as shown in Example 8-8.

Deleting the ADMIN administrator
After you have defined your required system administrators, delete the installed
system administration ID, ADMIN. Because you cannot delete an administrator if
that administrator is currently accessing the server, you must log on to Tivoli
Storage Manager as a different administrator to perform this task.
Example 8-9 shows the operation with the remove admin command.
