Yesterday evening I changed my password, using: Systems Settings >> User Accounts

But, this morning my new password is not accepted. In trying other solutions, I tried my old password which still allowed me to login.

Please can anyone give me reason why this happen, and how I can stop this happening?

Here is what you will need to do.. Lines starting with '$' are prompts, you don't type the '$'. Lines without the '$' are output, you don't type them either. Things inside <> should be replaced with your new or old password as indicated.

$passwd

Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters).

Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.

Old password: <old password goes here>

New password: <new password goes here>

Re-enter new password: <new password goes here>

Password changed.
