Are you sure? In the examples posted you either use twice -pass or
twice -pw.

If you've read the docs carefully (the Quick Start Guide, for example)
you should have seen that you first use -user en -pass to identify
yourself as sysdba, and then later on -pw to specify the new password
of whoever you mentioned after -modify.

For instance:

gsec -user sysdba -pass masterkey -mo sysdba -pw icuryy4me



Hope this helps!
