Each user is given a username and password whether it’s a normal user or root. The username and password is used to login to the system. It is recommended to change password often because of a security point of view. It is also important that you have a strong password that is not breakable.
The objective of this article is to teach you the method of changing the Root Password on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
Changing Root Password on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
Open the terminal from the activities menu. Log in with the root account by executing the command.
su -
Provide the root password and press the <Enter> key.
Type the following command and press the <Enter> key.
passwd
Submit a new password twice for confirmation.
When you get the message “all authentication tokens updated successfully”, that means the password has been successfully changed.

Keep supporting the Linux world.
