Linux Change Root Password

In order to change root’s password on Linux system, simply use the passwd command via a SSH client such as Putty. Below is an example:

[[email protected] ~]# passwd
Changing password for user root.
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[[email protected] ~]#

[[email protected] ~]# passwd Changing password for user root. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. [[email protected] ~]#

It will prompt to type new root password and then confirm the root password.

Note:

The passwd can be used to change password of a particular user as below:
