How to change host password on Linux

To better protect your system, it is required to change the default password. Please see this page http://www.usewisdom.com/computer/passwords.html for guidelines on how to choose a good password. Additionally it is always more secure to keep passwords in as less hands/heads as possible.

Change the password

• Connect to your unit through SSH

• Enter the passwd command

Example:

   [root@TB003540 ~]# passwd

• The system will ask you to enter your new password twice

• For more information

   man passwd
