NAME

       tpm_changeownerauth - change the authorization data associated with the owner or SRK

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_changeownerauth [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       tpm_changeownerauth allows for changing the authorization data for the TPM owner or the
       TPM's Storage Root Key (via the TPM_ChangeAuthOwner API).  This operation prompts for
       current password, followed by the new password and a confirmation of the new password. The
       --owner option changes the TPM owner password and --srk option changes the TPM's SRK
       password. The --well-known option is used when SRK or owner passwords need to be changed
       and current owner password is a secret of zeros, --set-well-known option changes current
       password to a secret of zeros, both options do not work by themselves, they must be used
       with --owner and --srk options to indicate which of these passwords will be changed.
