Changing a user’s password in Linux is simple and efficient. Here’s how to do it:

1. Changing Your Own Password

To change your own password, run the passwd command:

passed

You'll be prompted to enter your current password, followed by your new password.

2. Changing Another User’s Password

If you’re a system administrator and need to change another user’s password, use:

sudo passwd username

Replace username with the actual user account. You’ll be prompted to enter the new password.

3. Changing the Root (Admin) Password

To change the root account password, run:

sudo passwd root

That’s it! Managing passwords in Linux is quick and secure with these commands.
