Changing a User's Password in Fastpanel

Changing a User's Password in Fastpanel

Changing a user's password in Fastpanel can be done in two ways.

Using the Control Panel

In the "Management" section, navigate to "Users," select the user you want to change the password for, and click "Edit."

In the opened form, enter the new password and save the changes.

Through an SSH Connection

This method doesn't require inputting the user's old password.

1. Initiate an SSH connection to the server as the root user. The root credentials were sent to your email after server installation.

ssh root@server-IP-address

2. Use the following command, replacing the username with the one for which you want to change the password (e.g., fastuser):

passwd fastuser

3. Enter the new user password and press Enter. Afterward, input the password again for confirmation.

The system will confirm the successful password change:

passwd: password updated successfully

Another option is to use the mogwai utility. In this case, the syntax is as follows:

mogwai chpasswd -u {username} -p {new_password}
