Wow! That's two I can answer. Easiest way: log in as informix and type 'passwd', then follow the prompts. Slightly less easy way if the above doesn't work or does not seem obvious: log in as root, type 'passwd informix', then follow the prompts. Important safety note: if the informix account is in NIS rather than local (probably not), then you will need to use yppasswd instead of passwd depending on your version of Solaris.
