Generally we know that FNDCPASS utility can be used to change the apps schema password and
individual base/application schemas (ap,ar,gl,etc etc) password.
But there are few options which we should know.
1. ALLORACLE : this is used to change all base/application schemas with same password in one shot.
FNDCPASS apps/appspassword 0 Y system/systempassword ALLORACLE allschemapassword
eg : FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager ALLORACLE mydollargame
However this will set same password for all the application schema users,
2. USER: USER is used for changing the Application (FND) user password through backend.
FNDCPASS apps/appspassword 0 Y system/systempassword USER applicationusername applicationusernewpassword
eg. FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager user sysadmin you_cameto_seeme
However this option will not allow the user change the password at the first login, user has to login and change their password through preference.
