Dear sb,
thanks for your query, I actually mean it, because we r just to launch the new hp ux11i. I already set a common password for all the users, but now mngmt wants to set it as username added with 99 as initial password. later they can change. pls help me out.....

Like I said before, make sure you only change the passwords of "real" users and not of system related accounts.
Hopefully your "real" users are assigned a specific range for the uid (field 3 in /etc/passwd) and no other accounts have an uid within this range.
Now lets assume the uid of a "real" user is between 5000 and 7000.
Then the following script might do the job for you. The script assumes that "expect" is available on your system. You might have to replace "nawk" by "awk".
