easiest is with a command line:

brconnect -c -p initQBW.sap -l E -f chpass -o SAPSR3 -password wombojumbo

brconnect -c -p initQBW.sap -l E -f chpass -o SYSTEM -password wombojumbo

brconnect -c -p initQBW.sap -l E -f chpass -o SYS -password wombojumbo

Hello,

2 - Database user/password (user) ............. [/]
3 ~ Database owner to change password (owner) . []

You have to give the user name whose password you want to change in 3 not in 2. (leave the 2nd option.. it means which user will be used to change the password of user given in 3)

After giving the user id, press continue, it will ask for the new password.

also explains.. -o|-owner: Defines for which database owner (that is, user) the password is to be changed

Debasis.
