We will show you how to change user password in Linux. Changing user passwords in Linux could be one of the most common tasks you will have to perform while you are administering a multi-user server. This is a very simple task though and in this tutorial, we will show you how to change the user password on a Linux VPS regardless of which distribution you are currently using.
To be able to run commands on the server you need to connect to the Linux server via SSH. Note that only the root user, as well as system users with sudo privileges, can change a password for another user. If you log in to the server with a non-sudo user, you can only change your current user’s password.
