Answer 1

Here is java sample code to update software in device.

     com.softlayer.api.service.software.component.Password passtemplate =
     new com.softlayer.api.service.software.component.Password();
     passtemplate.setUsername("newUserName");
     passtemplate.setPassword("123456abcDF");

    com.softlayer.api.service.software.component.Password.Service passService = com.softlayer.api.service.software.component.Password
            .service(client, 10000000l); // Client and password ID
    passService.editObject(passtemplate);

Please try the following: SoftLayer_Software_Component_Password::editObject

Below is a REST example:

https://[username]:[apikey]@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Software_Component_Password/[comp_pass_id]/editObject

Method: POST

Json Payload:
{
  "parameters": [
    {
      "password": "myPassEdited",
      "username": "myUserEdited"
    }
  ]
}

Also, to get passwords of server software components, please see:

https://[username]:[apikey]@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Hardware/[server_id]/getSoftwareComponents?objectMask=mask[passwords]

Method: GET
