How can user change his password in Linux although he is not having the access to shadow file?

see as for as user is concerned he can execute passwd command to change his own password, He need not to have access to shadow file.



But if you said you want to change root password follow the below link of my site.

If one is logged on, a simple call to %26quot;passwd%26quot; would do it. If root is logged on, then you could use %26quot;passwd user%26quot; to change %26quot;user%26quot;'s password.
