'''SET PASSWORD''' is a [[DCL]] [[Command|command]] that changes a [[Password|password]] or [[Password#System password|system password]]. Also, can establish a [[Password#Primary and secondary passwords|secondary]] password or system password, or remove a secondary password. A user password can contain up to 32 alphanumeric and special characters. Unless your system manager has set the [[PWDMIX]] flag in your authorization account record, the only special characters permitted are the dollar sign ($) and underscore (_). Without the [[PWDMIX]] authorization, all lowercase characters are converted to uppercase before the password is encrypted. For example, "eagle" is the same as "EAGLE." If you have [[PWDMIX]] authorization, you can specify uppercase and lowercase alphabetic characters, and you can use any special characters in the printable character set. However, avoid using characters that have special significance for layered products that accept passwords. For example, a double quotation mark (") would be unacceptable in a password in a DECnet access control string.
