when changing PW in Ubuntu? Anthony J https://linuxacademy.com/community/posts/show/topic/1881-explain-authentication-token-manipulation-error 02-17-2015 HI "New" it is because you are not entering the "current" password that it is asking for instead you are entering your desired new password. For example.. When you enter in not the correct "current" password which by default is 123456 user@anthony4:~$ su Password: authentication token You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced) Changing password for root. (current) UNIX password: su: Authentication token manipulation error user@anthony4:~$ When you enter the correct one: user@anthony4:~$ su Password: You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced) Changing password for authentication token manipulation root. (current) UNIX password: Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: root@anthony4:/home/user# You can see that it is asking for the "current" password first to verify you are who you say you are. New G 02-18-2015 Thanks. That'll happen I guess opening too many terminal. *doh* Reply Commit new skills to your local repo Join 70,000+ aspiring & expert engineers who trained at Linux Academy Join Now Features For Teams Library Blog Careers Community Archive About Terms of Service Privacy Policy Log In Join Now © Linux Academy.
