Hi,
Well, actually it didnt work. you can see:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ --> passwd
Changing password for filsin
Old password:
Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
New password:
Bad password: too similar. Try again.
New password:
Bad password: too similar. Try again.
New password:
Bad password: too similar. Try again.
New password:
Bad password: too similar. Try again.
New password:
Bad password: too similar. Try again.
The password for filsin is unchanged.
I have now my password as `password123`. I still want to put it as
`password`......
Thanks,
