I have Ubuntu installed on a Raspberry pi. I have a normal user pi, but I forgot the password. However, I do have root access.
How would I change pi's password using root?

How did you manage to install Ubuntu on the pi?– MateoNov 14, 2013 at 18:16

I did it long time ago. I remember: 1st, download the image and burn it into SD card. 2nd, plug in everything and power on then follow the configuration. 3rd, there is no 3rd.– Peter HuangNov 14, 2013 at 18:46

But what version? It is my understanding that Ubuntu changed long ago so that it no longer works on pi– MateoNov 14, 2013 at 18:50

Just open a terminal and type following command:
sudo passwd username
and hit Enter
It will ask you for passwords
