I’m trying to change the password that is asked when running sudo
in Ubuntu. Running sudo passwd
or sudo passwd root
does give me the two new password prompts and it successfully changes the password.
But then I can still use my old password when running sudo
again for something else. I do have a user with the exact same password but I don’t know if that makes a difference. I enabled the root user and I can see the new password does work with the root user account.
So the root password is changed but not the password for sudo
.
How do I change the sudo
password?
su
, it is your password that is used bysudo
.
