.SH NAME
.B pbs_ds_password 
\- set or change data service user account or its password
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pbs_ds_password 
[-C <username>] [-r]

.SH DESCRIPTION
You can use this command to change the user account or account password 
for the data service.  

.B Passwords
.br
Blank passwords are not allowed.

If you type in a password, make sure it does not contain restricted
characters.  The 
.B pbs_ds_password
command generates passwords
containing the following characters:

0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!@#$%^&*()_+

When creating a password manually, do not use \\ (backslash) or `
(backquote). This can prevent certain commands such as pbs_server,
pbs_ds_password, and printjob from functioning properly, as they rely
on connecting to the database.  The format is also described in "PBS
Password" in the Formats chapter of the PBS Professional Reference Guide.

.B Permissions
On Linux, root privilege is required to use this command. On Windows, 
Admin privilege is required.

.B Restrictions
Do not run this command if failover is configured. It is important 
not to inadvertently start two separate instances of the data service 
on two machines, thus potentially corrupting the database.
.br
