Changing a user password on a master or media server instance
Follow these steps to change the password of a local user or the default appadmin user on a NetBackup master or media server application instance.
Note:
Active Directory user passwords cannot be changed from an instance. They must be changed from the server on which they reside.
To change a user password from that user's account
- Open an SSH session to the instance as the user that you want to change the password for and run the following command:
passwd
- Follow the prompt to change the password.
To change another user's password from the appadmin account
- Open an SSH session to the instance as the appadmin user and run the following command:
sudo passwd <username>
Where <username> is the username of the user whose password you want to change.
- Follow the prompt to change the password.
