I don't understand your question?

If you're asking if that is possible, yes. You can reset the users password like that.

thanks for reply
I basically want to create a system so that users can change their own passwords if the 'forgot password'
I as an administrator can change their passwords with 'zmprov', is there a system user can to change their user password?

Yes, you could use "zmprov sp user@domain.com newpassword" to reset the password for a user through a web page. You just need to make sure that the page can properly call zmprov.

It might be better to use the SOAP API (search forums and see wiki), since it is a bit faster and you don't have to risk the security of executing powerful commands from a script.
