Exercise 5: Evan's Dilemma

Using GNOME, from the menu choose Programs, Accessories, and Terminal. At the prompt, type

 passwd 

You must give the old password. After so doing, enter a new password. If you give a password that does not meet the currently configured requirements (length, use of characters, and so on), the new password will not be accepted. If the password meets the currently configured requirements, you are prompted to reenter it. Provided that you give the same value for the new password the second time as you did the first, a message will appear, "Password changed," and you can now close the terminal window.
