		      TPM Management - tpm_changeownerauth

NAME
     tpm_changeownerauth  -  change  the  authorization data associated with the
     owner or SRK

SYNOPSIS
     tpm_changeownerauth [OPTION]

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