How do I change my password in ubuntu? I think I have either 12.4 or 12.10. I'm a bit computer illiterate, so will need an answer for a computer dummy.

You've two ways to change the password.

  1. Using GUI - Go to System -> Preferences -> About Me, which will display the following window. Click on Change Password button.
  2. Command - Open up a terminal (you can do that by holding CTRL+ALT+T) & type as below;

passwd username

This will prompt you to type your new UNIX password by confirming once.

Hope it helps!
