i have attached the modified script beacuse the original script is for changing the password across multiple servers and i guess this is not what you require.
You need to execute the script from root user. It will create a log file in the directory from which you are executing the script.
You can change the password for root and a user but you can do a small modification and the script will change the password for root and any user.
