Good day,
I am trying to change a node password via SSH. The node is running the latest version of AREDN firmware. I am able to log into the node via SSH from an Ubuntu 14.04 desktop pc without a problem. I searched the forums but did not come up with a solution so hope someone can set me right.
I followed the guide as noted on this website. Issuing the the command $ setpasswd abc , directly after login via SSH, I get an error stating that the command does not exist.
Could someone kindly point out my mistake?

From the busybox documentation:
chpasswd chpasswd [--md5|--encrypted] Read user:password from stdin and update /etc/passwd Options: -e,--encrypted Supplied passwords are in encrypted form -m,--md5 Use MD5 encryption instead of DESK5DLQ, So may I safely make the assumption that one is unable to reset a node password via ssh?
