Have you looked at the passwd command?  Specifically, the "--stdin"
option?  You'll need to validate the old password first, but this will
allow you to change it.  At one point I wrote something that would take
"user:old:new" via stdin, and would validate the old password and change
it only if that password was correct, but the above should work as well
if not better -- I mean you KNOW where that program is...
