Also You can use "expect" command to do this. This is a sample program I 
used to change unix user passwords. You can edit it to do this job.

#!/bin/sh
# \
exec expect -f "$0" ${1+"$@"}
set password [lindex $argv 1]
spawn passwd [lindex $argv 0]
sleep 1
expect "assword:"
send "$password\r"
expect "assword:"
send "$password\r"
expect eof
