Hello Nisha,

To change the password on your Verdin iMX8M Plus module running TorizonCore OS, please follow these steps:

  1. Access the Command Line: Connect to your device using a terminal application via SSH or a serial connection.

  2. Login: Use your current username and password to log in. If you haven’t set a password yet, use the default credentials provided by Toradex.

  3. Change the Password: Once logged in, execute the following command:

    passwd

    You will be prompted to enter the current password, followed by the new password. Choose a strong password for security.

  4. Confirm the Change: After entering the new password, you will be asked to confirm it by typing it again. Once confirmed, the password will be updated.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully change the password on your module. If you encounter any issues, ensure that your device is properly connected and that you have the correct permissions.

The solution given by @ToradexAI works if the password is not been setup in the initial prompt.

To change the existing password, use the command
