From the man page (which you have of course read) some options that might be helpful:
Code:
       --batch
       --no-batch
              Use batch mode.  Never ask, do not allow  interactive  commands.
              --no-batch disables this option.

       --no-tty
              Make  sure that the TTY (terminal) is never used for any output.
              This option is needed in  some  cases  because  GnuPG  sometimes
              prints warnings to the TTY even if --batch is used.

       --passphrase-fd n
              Read the passphrase from file descriptor n. Only the first  line
              will  be  read  from  file descriptor n. If you use 0 for n, the
              passphrase will be read from stdin. This can  only  be  used  if
              only  one  passphrase is supplied.  Note that this passphrase is
              only used if the option --batch has also been  given.   This  is
              different from gpg.


       --passphrase-file file
              Read  the passphrase from file file. Only the first line will be
              read from  file  file.  This  can  only  be  used  if  only  one
              passphrase is supplied. Obviously, a passphrase stored in a file
              is of questionable security if other users can read  this  file.
              Don't  use  this  option  if  you  can avoid it.  Note that this
              passphrase is only used if the  option  --batch  has  also  been
              given.  This is different from gpg.


       --passphrase string
              Use  string as the passphrase. This can only be used if only one
              passphrase is supplied. Obviously, this is of very  questionable
              security  on  a  multi-user system. Don't use this option if you
              can avoid it.  Note that this passphrase is  only  used  if  the
              option --batch has also been given.  This is different from gpg.

pktool

pktool(1)							   User Commands							 pktool(1)

NAME

       pktool - manage softtoken object storage

SYNOPSIS

       pktool setpin

DESCRIPTION

       The pktool command allows users to manage the softtoken object store.

       The setpin subcommand changes the passphrase used to authenticate a user to the softtoken object store. setpin prompts the user for the old
       passphrase, if any. If the old passphrase matches, pktool prompts for the new passphrase twice. If the two entries of  the  new	passphrase
       match, it will become the current passphrase for the token.

       Passphrases may be any string of characters with lengths between 1 and 256 with no nulls.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       >0	An error occurred.

FILES

       ${HOME}/.sunw/pkcs11_softtoken

	   The user's default token object store.

       ${SOFTTOKEN_DIR}/pkcs11_softtoken

	   The alternate token object store.
