Question How do I parse passwords into passwd command.

Do you know of any methods where I can send an input of passwords into the passwd command? For instance, I have a file which has the password stored and I want it to be sent into this command "passwd gilberteu" when it prompts for the new password and subsequently confirming the password that was entered.

I know I can use a tool called "expect" and it's free to install on a HP-UX but, I'm trying not to install stuffs on my server. Any workaround?
