[Howto] Reset SSH passowrd (Linux)

[WRZHost]

Hi,
Well this seems to be something I get asked on a daily basis so I though I'd post here so people know howto do it.

If you are wanting to change your ROOT SSH password from the default one provided by your webhost.

Follow these simple steps:

1) Log into SSH
2) Type: passwd
3) type the password you wish to use
4) retype it
5) Bingo you are done!

Hope it helps some people who are not aware.

Thanks,
