Is there any way to change a password hint without changing the password?
dscl . -merge /Users/username hint "your password hint"
- Replace
usernamewith the short name of the account you wish to modify. - Replace
your password hintwith the hint you would like to set for the account.
dscl is the Directory Service command line utility.. is the local machine.-merge allows you to add a new key to a record path./Users/username is the record path for the key.hint is the key you would like to assign a value.your password hint is the string value for the key.
