[SOLVED] How do I change the user password?
#12
Hi oxo42,

Sorry, I missed the LL 1.0.8.
I started with 2.0, now 2.2, can't remember when User Manager came along.

A quick Google shows the following, although I would wait for confirmation from a more experienced user

Open a terminal or use ctrl-alt-t
then:
Code:
sudo passwd <username>
like:
Code:
sudo passwd oxo42

It will prompt you for your "current" password
Then ask for "new" password then ask to confirm it.
