how to change linux os user name and password
773616Dec 15 2010 — edited Dec 15 2010Hi
I'm installing OS Red Hat Enterprice Linux 5 in VM ware in my system. In that os , instead of root user, i gave user name as oracle & password as oracle 123.
Now i'm giving open terminal, terminal open with oracle $ instead of #.
I tried to change only password by using
[oracle@local host~]$ su - root
password:
su: incorrect password
here i'm giving new password to root user, not working, but using the old password (oracle123) is working and switch over to root user(#).
[oracle@local host~]$su - root
password: (oracle123)
[root@local host ~]#
i'm installed os only, i didn't install oracle software .
1.How to change terminal with # while giving open terminal?
2. how to change root, user name and password?
Thanks in advance.
