Change Your User's Password On Ubuntu
How do you change the username for a user on the Ubuntu operating system?
You can change your user's password
by using the passwd command (replace bob
with your user's name):
sudo passwd bob
You may be asked to enter the current password for the user.
Then you'll be prompted twice for the replacement password. The second input is compared against the first and both are required to match before the new password is successfully set.
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
When that command finishes, your new password will be set!
You can read more about the passwd
command in the Ubuntu manual.
