Re: tracking the change of root and other password!!!
Answer is no fortunately. Why do you want to track this when they are having privilage to change their passwords and account credentials?
normal user cannot change other account attributes. Only root can do all. restrict the root access.
You can enable auditing to trace the user activities. but that will capture all the tasks not only accounts related.

Re: tracking the change of root and other password!!!
how can I enable auditing, does the auditing will create audit files for every activity of the users?

Re: tracking the change of root and other password!!!
if you want to enable logs you need to convert your system in trasted system, which will allow you to generate many logs,
you can refer this document for this, let me know how it goes, thanks,

Re: tracking the change of root and other password!!!
then create script /usr/bin/passwd using vi :
clear
echo "your attempt to change your password will be logged"
echo "user `who am i` changes password `date`" >>/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
passwd_orig
echo "***********************" >>/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
chmod 0755 /usr/bin/passwd.
everytime someone executes passwd it will run the script above.
