Syntax

object.SetPassword OldPassword, NewPassword

The SetPassword Method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	An expression evaluating to an object of type McDBUser.
OldPassword	Required. A String value. The current password of this McDBUser
NewPassword	Required. A String value. The password to assign to this McDBUser

Remarks

McDBUser.SetPassword()

A McDBUser is always allowed to change their own password, provided they know their current password. Otherwise, only Administrators (McDBRightsOwner.IsAdministrator is True) can assign a password. In this case, the OldPassword is not needed.
