I use Volumio, built on Debian. I want to change the password for the default volumio user, so I type:
volumio@volumio:~$ sudo passwd
[sudo] password for volumio:
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
volumio@volumio:~$ reboot
When the device restarts, the new password doesn't work but the old one does.
What have I done wrong?

You are resetting root's password when using sudo passwd. The command literally means 'run passwd as root'.
To change the user's password, you simply use passwd. This command is meant to be used by standard users. This works because the command file is assigned the 'suid' bit.
