one thing i forgot to mention..i am not the root user.I am an ordinary user who wants to change the password.It is same as loggin in to individaul user using their password and change it and send a mail.To avoid manual work i want to automate it.

       - Query the user for system passwords on the console and via wall

       systemd-ask-password-wall.service

       systemd-ask-password-wall.path

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-ask-password-console.service is a system service that queries the user for system passwords (such as hard disk encryption keys and
       SSL certificate passphrases) on the console. It is intended to be used during boot to ensure proper handling of passwords necessary for
       boot.  systemd-ask-password-wall.service is a system service that informs all logged in users for system passwords via wall(1). It is
       intended to be used after boot to ensure that users are properly notified.

       See the developer documentation[1] for more information about the system password logic.

       Note that these services invoke systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1) with either the --watch --console or --watch --wall command line
       parameters.
