81.Sh DESCRIPTION
82These functions change the password for a given principal.
83.Pp
84.Fn krb5_set_password
85and
86.Fn krb5_set_password_using_ccache
87are the newer of the three functions, and use a newer version of the
88protocol (and also fall back to the older set-password protocol if the
89newer protocol doesn't work).
90.Pp
91.Fn krb5_change_password
92sets the password
93.Fa newpasswd
94for the client principal in
95.Fa creds .
96The server principal of creds must be
97.Li kadmin/changepw .
98.Pp
99.Fn krb5_set_password
100and
101.Fn krb5_set_password_using_ccache
102change the password for the principal
103.Fa targprinc .
104.Pp
105.Fn krb5_set_password
106requires that the credential for
107.Li kadmin/changepw@REALM
108is in
109.Fa creds .
110If the user caller isn't an administrator, this credential
111needs to be an initial credential, see
112.Xr krb5_get_init_creds 3
113how to get such credentials.
114.Pp
115.Fn krb5_set_password_using_ccache
116will get the credential from
117.Fa ccache .
118.Pp
119If
120.Fa targprinc
121is
122.Dv NULL ,
123.Fn krb5_set_password_using_ccache
124uses the the default principal in
125.Fa ccache
126and
127.Fn krb5_set_password
128uses the global the default principal.
129.Pp
130All three functions return an error in
131.Fa result_code
132and maybe an error string to print in
133.Fa result_string .
134.Pp
135.Fn krb5_passwd_result_to_string
136returns an human readable string describing the error code in
137.Fa result_code
138from the
139.Fn krb5_set_password
140functions.
