Or, logon as root.
Enter passwd username (where username is the name of your user).
Enter anything as a password (including nothing), ignore the warnings.

Ah! Excellent! Thanks!
I knew you could reset passwords that way, but had assumed that it would
force you to enter a password the next time you logged on. Guess I was
wrong...

On my slink system if I (as root) _remove_ the 13-character encrypted
password for a user from /etc/shadow (/etc/passwd if shadow passwords
aren't enabled) then that user can log in with _no_ password (not even
asked).
BTW, this is the standard way to recover, with a rescue floppy, from the

After changing it to 1, I just had the following exchange with passwd:
Enter the new password (minimum of 1, maximum of 8 characters)

I'm setting up a Linux box as an MP3 jukebox for a (technically
non-sophisticated) friend to use at her dance studio. We've decided that
