sed to replace a string which consist of a forwardslash

Question

I'm trying to replace below specific lines in a file

/ACCOUNT/passwd=
/BMC/CONFIRMATION/PASSWORD=

I need help in preparing the sed command

The required output would look something like this

/ACCOUNT/passwd=-2$-$A88CA7BD3DADDDFFC
/TMC/CONFIRMATION/PASSWORD=-2$-$A88CA7BD3DADDDFFC

Any help is appreciated.

please add the code you've tried to solve this.. if you are new to sed, please go through https://stackoverflow.com/tags/sed/info and ask question when you've tried something.. — Sundeep, May 30 '18 at 13:04
It may or may not... so there are different lines in the file, that I need to replace, in some lines i need to replace BMC to TMC and in some lines i need to just add the string at the end for eg : from : /TMC/CONFIRMATION/PASSWORD= TO : /TMC/CONFIRMATION/PASSWORD=-2$-$A88CA7BD3DADDDFFC — Harshal, May 30 '18 at 13:35

There is nothing special about the forward slash, except if you choose to use it as the delimiter in your sed command, so don’t:

sed 's,ACCOUNT/passwd=,ACCOUNT/passwd=-2$-$A88CA7BD3DADDDFFC,g'

And similar for other target strings.

Here I’ve used a comma as the delimiter. You can choose another character as you prefer.
