TDE Passwd is a utility to change user passwords.


Use this dialog to change your user password. Your user password is the password used to log into your system. First enter your current password. Then you will be asked for your new password and to confirm.

When run as root, no password is required. Only the new password and confirmation are required. Passwords of other users can be changed by passing the account name as a parameter. Normally that requires root privileges and using tdesu.
