Description
The :ChangePassword() method changes the account password for the specified user.
The :ChangePassword() method is used to change the password associated with the specified account on the remote system. The method establishes a connection to a seperate service running on the server, and does not use the POP3 protocol. For this function to succeed, the server must be configured to allow password changes using the poppass service, running on port 106.
Because passwords are sent over the network as clear text, this service is considered to be insecure.
