This article will explain in detail about using linux's passwd command to change the password of a user's account. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

The passwd command is used to set the user's authentication information, including user password, account lock, password invalidation, and so on. Run the passwd command directly to change the current user password, and administrator privileges are required for password operations on other users.

Common format: passwd [parameters]

Common parameters:

-d delete password-l lock user password, cannot be modified by user-u unlock locked user password, allow user to modify-e password expires immediately, next login force change password-k to retain expired users can still use-S to query password status after expiration

Reference example

Change the password of the current login account:

[root@linuxcool ~] # passwd

Change the passwords of other users (assuming a linuxprobe user):

[root@linuxcool ~] # passwd linuxcool

The lock password does not allow users to modify:

[root@linuxcool ~] # passwd-l linuxcool

Unlock the password, allowing the user to modify:

[root@linuxcool] # passwd-u linuxcool

The next time you log in, you must change your password:

[root@linuxcool] # passwd-e linuxcool

Clear the login password. No password is required when logging in after clearance, which is extremely risky and is not recommended:

[root@linuxcool] # passwd-d linuxcool

Query password status:

[root@linuxcool ~] # passwd-S linuxcool on using linux's passwd command to change the password of a user's account is shared here. I hope the above content can be helpful to you and learn more. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
