changing the System password

I get the following error when attempting to change the SYSTEM password for the first time:

000 No valid password supplied in the function chpass

I've tried all sorts of different passwords and still get the same error message. Running on Tru64.

How was the database created, and how are you trying to change the password?

to create database:
creatdb mydb

to change password:
tsql -a change -u _SYSTEM -d mydb

then prompted twice for new password which it won't accept.

Also, I am now getting the following error message (is the installation screwed up?):

You probably have already changed the _SYSTEM password. You can try specifying the _SYSTEM passwd (that you might have changed it to) with the -p option.

You might look at the morph3/texis/monitor.log file as to why the monitor process exited. Most likely it is a permissions issue.
