Hello, I'm ssh'd into our CVMs and trying to change the default "nutanix" password using the passwd command. I'm getting the following error:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
Am I doing this incorrectly?
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi @Chadd
Assuming you are running AOS 5.1 and later, try using the following command: sudo passwd nutanix
For additional information on how to change CVM and other passwords, please refer to the following KB:

I have reviewed the article 000006153 and I understand logging into one CVM will change it for all per cluster? Is this correct?Are you able to advise whether I can do this in Production hours, does it require any specific pre-reqs to be fulfilled first?Any other special considerations?I also plan to change the IPMI login at a later stage, I assume this one is non invasive as well but will need to be done by logging onto each node via the IMPI?
