Please use a more complicated password.

Please use a more complicated password. Please use a different password. Unusual capitalization, control characters, or digits are suggested.

However, some might be sometimes unable to do it.

In such a case, what to do is to encrypt new password manually and then apply it as admin also manually. Here is the way.

First, encrypt enables you to get new encrypted password:

$ encrypt
# enter your password
# and encrypted chars will be printed

Then, vipw follows to update the password file. Be very careful to edit it:

$ doas vipw

Here, search the line on <youruser> and rewrite it:

  (...)
- <youruser>:currentencryptedpassword:(...)
+ <youruser>:newencryptedpassword:(...)
  (...)

That’s it. Check if you can log in with new password:

$ su <youruser>
Password:
