Simple command: 

sudo passwd $USER

where $USER is name of user account or just

passwd

to change the password of the account you are running command from, then type ur current password and then new password and then retype it. :)

    sudo passwd is not the same as password! passwd changes the password for the user running the command, with sudo this becomes root. Use sudo passwd $USER to change the password for user $USER
