That's a UNIX right? You'd need to be running as the root user.. you could try calling the program passwd (if that's a SunOS thing too), piping the input to the program, and sending it the new password.

Bear in mind that Java is supposed to be platform independent and your trying to do something very platform independent. So, there's no easy answer to your question.
