Changing your password

You may change your password after you have logged in to the system. To change the password from the terminal, type passwd. Then the system will prompt you for the old password. After you have entered your old password the system will ask you to enter your new password. Choose a password that is difficult to guess by others. The system may reject your password as being too small. If so, select another one; the system will make suggestions about how to select a better password.
