changing esxi user passwords via script

Hi

I am trying to achive something similar to the following command

echo new-password | passwd user --stdin

However when I try this I get an error saying only root is allowed passwd.

If I execute the same command as root this works.

I am disabling root ssh into the machine and am running this command piggybacked on ssh

Is there some other command I can use to change this users password assuming i am logged in as that user?
