read is used to take input from user. That's why you saw what you quoted.
You did not do this changes as suggested.
Take away the read, the value is already in $1
And I think you should have quotes surrounding $1 "[": if [ "$1" = "$password" ]
I don't know about ksh, but in sh you should use single "=".

asadmin-set

asadmin-set(1AS)						   User Commands						  asadmin-set(1AS)

NAME

       asadmin-set, set - sets the values of attributes

SYNOPSIS

       set--user  admin_user[--password  admin_password][--host  localhost]  [--port  4848][--secure|-s] [--passwordfile filename] [--terse=false]
       [--echo=false] [--interactive=true] attributename=value [attribute_name=value]*

       Sets the values of one or more configurable attribute. This command is supported in remote mode only. On Solaris, quotes  are  needed  when
       executing commands with * as the option value or operand.

OPTIONS

       --user		       authorized domain application server administrative username.

       --password	       password to administer the domain application server.

       --host		       machine name where the domain application server is running.

       --port		       port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests.

       --secure 	       if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server.

       --passwordfile	       file containing the domain application server password.

       --terse		       indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-
			       formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

       --echo		       setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

       --interactive	       if set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

OPERANDS

       attributename=value     identifies the attribute name and its value. See the Application Server Reference for a listing	of  the  available
			       attribute names.

       Example 1: Using set

       asadmin> set --user admin --password adminadmin --host localhost
       --port 4848 server.transaction-service.automatic-recovery=true

EXIT STATUS

       0		       command executed successfully
