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?

  • 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. Commented Nov 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 Commented Nov 14, 2013 at 18:50
