The Change IBM Service Tools Pwd (CHGDSTPWD) command is used to change the password for the IBM-supplied service tools user ID with service tools security privilege (QSECOFR) to the IBM-supplied default value. The password is changed immediately and an audit record is sent if auditing is active on your system.

Note: It is possible to rename any service tools user ID, including those supplied by IBM. IBM does not recommend that you do this. If QSECOFR has been renamed and the value *DEFAULT is specified for the password parameter, the CHGDSTPWD command will change the service tools user ID name back to QSECOFR and set the password to the IBM-supplied default value.
