.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBtpm_setoperatorauth\fR allows setting the operator authorization value in the TPM  
(via the TPM_SetOperatorAuth API).  This operation prompts for the new password and a confirmation of it. The \fB\-\-well-known\fR option tells the API to use the default TSS_WELL_KNOWN_SECRET (a 20-bytes array of zeros) as operator authorization information, instead of prompting for one.
