Can I change ssh password via cli?

Hi,

Running LibreELEC 9.2.8. Is it ok to change the default root password via SSH using the "passwd" command? Or will that break things

Cheers,

Zolt

GUI and CLI both refefence the same password so it doesn't matter how you change it.

Thanks chewitt, so changing via CLI won't impact the GUI (Kodi) starting on next reboot?

FYI, just changed it and LibreELEC no longer boots

I'll confess it's about 4 years since I did a password change, but that sounds rather odd/wrong.
