Using an expect script would deal with your issue, e.g.

Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
spawn passwd [lindex $argv 0]
set password [lindex $argv 1]
expect "password:"
send "$password\r"
expect "password:"
send "$password\r"
expect eof

This scripts is from here. This script would take the username as the first paramete and the desired password as the second parameter. The path to where expect is installed may need changing to reflect where expect is installed on your system.
