The programm passwd will answers (new password + again)
How can i do this in a script?

Doing this you need to change the shadow

See also the SUN man page:

Hi,

You can right a small script using expect (expect automates interactive applications). For more information about expect have a look: https://www.unix.com/unix-for-advanced-and-expert-users/8184-another-user-script.html?s=
You'll find a link in this topic.

Good luck

On AIX you need to change the user file

*
* expires Defines the expiration time for the user account.
* Possible values: a valid date in the form MMDDHHMMYY or 0.
* If 0 the account does not expire. If 0101000070 the account
* is disabled. The range for YY is:
* 00 - 38 years 2000 thru 2038
* 39 - 99 years 1939 thru 1999

Hopfully this will be helpfull:
