How can I change my password?
I have looked around Ask Ubuntu but haven't found anything promising. A few answers got me close, but the advice always came from a more advanced user. I am new to the world of Linux however I feel I'm following the directions 100%.
I love Ubuntu & I'm learning a lot of good information but I have been spending far to much energy & time on what should be easy.
Solution 1:
You can change your password with:
command line
Open a terminal and enter
passwd
graphical
The graphical method is preferred, especially if you have an encrypted home directory.
Open user accounts and change your user password from there.
Lost password
