If it is the system administrator, then I agree with "set", I didn't think about it from that angle.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Aniello Scognamiglio (X) : I am sorry, there is a difference! Leonor has the right answer. When you log on to a computer system, you *enter* a password // No again! First you define a password, later on you enter it! Believe me :-)

I respect your opinion, but when you decide to (or need to) change a password on a log-in page, you are asked to *enter* your new password, not define it.
