To change the password of the Dedicated Server and/or VPS with a Linux Operating System (Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS) you will need to perform the following steps:
- Login to the Dedicated Server and/or VPS with the root user and/or the user you want to change the password.
- Enter the command depending on the following scenarios:
- If you are already logged in with the user you want to change the password, you must enter the following command: "passwd" (without quotes).
- If you are logged in with the root user and want to change the password to another user, you must enter the following command "passwd user" (without quotes).
- Enter the desired password. It is worth mentioning that it is always necessary to enter the password twice! Introucing the password twice, the Operating System can confirm that both passwords entered are exactly the same.
Note: When entering the password, the characters will not be shown in the terminal for security reasons, which does not mean that they are not being entered.
