Hello and welcome to this tutorial on how to add,
delete, and change user passwords in Kali Linux.
Kali
Linux is a popular distribution of the Linux operating
system that is widely used for cyber security and penetration testing. It's
important to keep your system secure, and one way to do that is by managing
user passwords effectively.
In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to add, delete, and change user
passwords in Kali Linux. Let's get started.
1.
Adding a user
in Kali Linux
To add a new user to Kali Linux, you'll need to use
the "adduser" command. Simply open a terminal
window and type "adduser" followed by the
name of the user you want to add. For example, to add a user named
"john", you would type "adduser
john".
The system will then prompt you to enter a password
for the user and confirm it. Make sure to choose a strong and unique password
to help keep your system secure.
2.
Deleting a
user in Kali Linux
To delete a user in Kali Linux, you'll need to use the
"userdel" command. Simply open a terminal window and type "userdel"
followed by the name of the user you want to delete. For example, to delete the
user "john", you would type "userdel john".
Please note that this command will not delete the
user's home directory or any files associated with the user. If you want to
delete these as well, you'll need to use the "userdel -r"
command.
3.
Changing a
user's password in Kali Linux
To change a user's password in Kali Linux, you'll need
to use the "passwd" command. Simply
open a terminal window and type "passwd"
followed by the name of the user whose password you want to change. For
example, to change the password for the user "john", you would type
"passwd
john".
The system will then prompt you to enter the new
password and confirm it. Again, make sure to choose a strong and unique
password to help keep your system secure.
And that's it! You now know how to add, delete, and
change user passwords in Kali Linux. Remember to keep your system secure by
choosing strong and unique passwords and managing them effectively.
