LKBEN11019: Howto change the password for a normal user
Symptom
You need to change a users password because he or sho forgot it
Cause
none
Solution
You log on as root and type
passwd <username>
e.g. passwd lubby1
Now you can set the password. You need to give in the password twice to minimize errors.
If a user wants to change his password, he does not need to enter a username. The paswd command will do.
