Linux: Resetting a user's password

To reset a user's password on a Linux system, you can use the passwd command. Here's how:

1. Log in to the system as a user with administrative privileges, such as the root user.

2. Open a terminal window.

3. Type the following command, replacing username with the username of the user whose password you want to reset:

passwd username

4. You will be prompted to enter a new password for the user. Enter the new password and press Enter.

5. You will be prompted to confirm the new password. Re-enter the new password and press Enter.

The password for the specified user will now be reset to the new password.

Keep in mind that you will need to have administrative privileges to reset a user's password. If you do not have these privileges, you will need to ask someone with administrative privileges to reset the password for you.
