Changing the User Account Password

A compute server has two default user accounts: root and the software owner (typically oracle).

To change a user account password on a compute server:

  1. Log in to the compute server as root.
  2. Use the Linux passwd command. This example changes the password of the oracle account:
    # passwd oracle
Changing password for user oracle.
Changing password for oracle
(current) UNIX password: old_password
New UNIX password: new_password
Retype new UNIX password: new_password
