import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import json
import urllib3
 
urllib3.disable_warnings()
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)  # suppress SSL error
 
def change_password(b, url, creds):
  payload = { }
  payload['password'] = creds[0]
  #print("Payload: ", payload)
  response1 = b.patch(url, data=json.dumps(payload))
  
  #print(response1.content)
  #print(response1.status_code)
  #print(response1.request.body)
   # Return Boolean 
   if response1 .status_code == int(200):
        pass_bool= True
        return pass_bool
    elif response1 .status_code == int(400) or response1 .status_code == int(401) :
       pass_bool= False
       return pass_bool
 
  
###### TO CHANGE Other non admin user PASSWORD ##################
 
creds=["MyNewPassword123!"]  # user "test" new password 
b = requests.session()
b.auth = ('f5osadmin', 'f5OsaDm1n!')     # F5 admin role user credentials. 
b.verify = False  
b.headers.update({'Content-Type':'application/json'})
if change_password(b, 'https://f5.sik.domain.com/mgmt/tm/auth/user/test', creds):  # user test
  print("password change successful")
else:
  print("password change failed")
 
 
###### END TO CHANGE PASSWORD ##################

Above is basic python code with few verification in print and which can be enhance with try exception

Hope this will help
