changing passwords with shell scripts

[Deepak Shrestha]

hi,
is there a way to change ones password through shell scripts?
with the password username command, you are prompted for a new password.
is there a possibility that the shell-script supply the input(new 
password twice) from a file/text rather than the STDIN?
regards,
deepak
