if you are logged in as that user, use
passwd
if you are logged in as root and want to change the password of another user use
passwd username

Just use it…. or use a gui application, but i don’t see why you’d need that.

Why would give somebody root access to your machine?
Try the following

sudo -i
Enter your user password
Then when logged in as root type
passwd
to set a password for the root user.
But i don’t recommend doing this, especially because you seem not to be too fond of linux….

That will only work if there is a userfolder created for every user. And thats not necessary the case.

I think the folliwng is important. You want one character after the -d, that being the separator between columns.

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/passwd | cut -d”:” -f1
cut: the delimiter must be a single character
Try `cut –help’ for more information.
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1
root
bin
daemon
adm
lp
sync
…

This is really helpful. I have a linux virtual machine, and it uses backtrack 5 as an interface. I hope this works. :D

or change the permissions of the directory as read write [execute] to all
sudo chmod 777 -R

I created another user account, but they cannot edit what they need to edit. How can I select a folder and have them be able to edit anything within that folder?

hi,
cut -d ” ” -f1 means d is delimiter .In this command delimiter is colon(:) .field1.If the file content is like this ramnaidu7:500:501:Bh.Ram .
After issuing above command o/p is ramnaidu7 since colon(:) is the delimiter and that is considered as field1(f1)
