To change password: Changing Your Password (passwd Command) Use the passwd command to change your password.
At the prompt, enter: passwd If you do not have a password, skip step 2. The following prompt appears: Changing password for UserID UserID's Old password: This request keeps an unauthorized user from changing your password while you are away from your system. Enter your current password. The following prompt appears: UserID's New password: Enter the new password you want. The following prompt appears, asking for you to reenter your new password. Enter the new password again: This request protects you from setting your password to a mistyped string that you can not recreate.
