I am new with Linux and I am still trying to learn. How can you change an user password in Linux if you log in as Root.

thanks

Mike,

[root@hostname /]# passwd username
Changing password for user username
New UNIX password:

Then type in new passwd.

If you want to find information on a command in linux, you can always do man <command name>

Just an FYI
