Please don’t lecture me how this is not a good idea. The system is non critical with zero important data, I just need least effort to input and confirm password.

During install, Ubuntu 25.04 allowed me to type in 1 character long password, but I picked the wrong key that’s not as convenient as I thought.

I’ve tried changing password and GUI won’t allow me to do it and passwd complains about length and still makes it look like it changes it, but doesn’t really. So, how can I bloody do it without reinstalling the whole damn OS again because only installer isn’t complaining about it?

Thanks

    Yesterday I want to authenticate something and it suddenly complained the password is not correct. It has then changed it suddenly. I’ve done a system restart last time I did the password change. So bizarre. I’ve tried it twice and it didn’t change it, but then it just did it on its own later. How does that make any sense?!
