TPM Management - tpm_changeownerauth
NAME
tpm_changeownerauth - change the authorization data associated with the owner or SRK
SYNOPSIS
tpm_changeownerauth [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
tpm_changeownerauth allows for changing the authorization data for the TPM owner or the TPM's Storage Root Key (via the TPM_ChangeAuthOwner

changes the TPM owner password and --srk option changes the TPM's SRK password. The --well-known option is used when SRK or owner passwords
need to be changed and current owner password is a secret of zeros, --set-well-known option changes current password to a secret of zeros,
both options do not work by themselves, they must be used with --owner and --srk options to indicate which of these passwords will be
changed.
