I need to change the password of "vtm" user to "abcd12345" by using xargs
command.
so I wrote this comman
printf "vtm abcd12345 abcd12345" | xargs -t -n1 passwd
but I couldn't change it.
CodePudding user response:
You could use chpasswd
command to change password instead.
# 1. find the user id of `vtm`
> sudo grep "vtm" /etc/passwd.
# 2. change password with `chpasswd`
echo 'userid:abcd12345' | chpasswd
Or if you want to change password with echo
:
echo -e -n "abcd12345\nabcd12345" | passwd vtm
