SYNOPSIS

12       tpm_changeownerauth [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

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