VM deployed from OVA file: solace-pubsub-standard-9.8.1.19.ova - How to change the sysadmin password

Newbie here…

I deployed the VM from the OVA file “solace-pubsub-standard-9.8.1.19.ova”. I was able to set the sysadmin password at initial logon from the console. I setup networking etc…

Now I need to change the password to one that meets our current standard.
What are the steps to change the sysadmin password?

@warren_peace, see Configuring Multiple Linux Shell Users

Essentially, the sysadmin account is a linux shell, so run the “passwd” command as root when you log on to the VM using the sysadmin account:

sudo passwd <username>

Hmmmm…I was on that url and tried it yesterday but for some goofy reason it wouldn’t work.
This time I got it to change the password…lol

Thanks :slight_smile:

@warren_peace I like your username…! haha
