PASSWD Command

Written by Bruce Cloutier on Nov 28, 2017 2:53 pm

A password may be changed using the PASSWD command. The PASSWD command is available to all active accounts but only an Administrator can use it to alter the password of another account by specifying the account user name.

In addition, if you are not an Administrator changing the password on another account you will be asked to enter the current password before you can provide a new password. This is an added level of security.

bruce_dev /> help passwd
PASSWD [user]

Sets the password for the user. Defaults to the current user.
