@GalacticTG

How do you use the terminal to change the password

I'm new with linux, and running Ubuntu 8.10

PLEASE ANSWER

[GalaticTG]

The tutorial shows you how to get to the Terminal once there you can type in passwd followed by your user name and press enter it will then ask you for your new password

ok how bout edubuntu?

[GalaticTG]

Should be the same on edubuntu

[Jabern82]

I get to the part where I type in the password and the keyboard stops working

[GalaticTG]

it's working it simply doesn't display the "stars" that it would normally display. Just type in your new password and press enter, no stars will show up but it should then ask you to confirm password again no stars. just type it in again and press enter.

@LoonySeo It's just based off ubuntu, so the process should remain the same.
