changing login password
 

Hello,

ubuntu 64 10.something - anyone know how to change the password for a user?

/* EDITED */

Was going to ask on the ubuntu forums after I logged in here but wasn't sure
asking here wasn't so inappropriate.

As the user it is [c]passwd[/c]. If it is another user it will be [c]sudo passwd name-of-user[/c] :smile:

A great unix command is [c]apropos[/c], which searches the [c]whatis[/c] database. From there you can use [c]man[/c]. So [c]apropos password[/c] and then [c]man passwd[/c]. :smile:

Of course I now have to use [c]man apropos[/c] and [c]man whatis[/c]... boy do I wish I'd known about that years ago...
