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.
