Introduction:

To change your SSH password, you'll need to access the account on the remote server and update the password using the appropriate commands. Here's a general guide on how to do this:

Step:1

Connect to the Server: Use SSH to connect to the server where you want to change your password. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

 ssh username@server_ip

Replace username with your username on the server and server_ip with the IP address or hostname of the server.

Change Password: Once logged in, you can change your password using the passwd command. Simply type passwd and press Enter. You'll be prompted to enter your current password and then to enter your new password twice for confirmation.

 passwd

Follow the prompts to enter your current password and then your new password.

Step3:

Confirm Password Change: After entering your new password twice, you should see a message indicating that your password has been updated successfully.

Step4:

Logout: Once you've changed your password, you can type exit to logout from the SSH session.
