To update the password for an IAM user
The following update-login-profile command creates a new password for the IAM user named Bob.
aws iam update-login-profile \
--user-name Bob \
--password <password>
This command produces no output.
To set a password policy for the account, use the update-account-password-policy command. If the new password
violates the account password policy, the command returns a PasswordPolicyViolation error.
If the account password policy allows them to, IAM users can change their own passwords using the change-password command.
Store the password in a secure place. If the password is lost, it cannot be recovered, and you must create a new one using the create-login-profile command.
For more information, see Managing passwords for IAM users in the Amazon IAM User Guide.

Example 1: This example sets a new temporary password for the IAM user Bob, and requires the user to change the password the next time the user signs in.
Update-IAMLoginProfile -UserName Bob -Password "P@ssw0rd1234" -PasswordResetRequired $true
