# 14.4. Changing Passwords

How do I change my root or user password?

The process for changing the password of root is the same as that for changing the password for a user. First, log in to the appropriate account. Open a shell prompt and enter the command `passwd`. The `passwd` command asks for the new password, which you will have to enter twice. The next time you log in, use the new password.
