Changing a user password on a primary or media server instance

Follow these steps to change the password of a local user or the default appadmin user on a NetBackup primary or media server application instance.

Note:

Remote 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

  1. Open an SSH session to the instance as the user that you want to change the password for and run the following command:

    passwd

  2. Follow the prompt to change the password.

To change another user's password from the appadmin account

  1. 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.

  2. Follow the prompt to change the password.
