Hi,

As a new user of Salix OS, I am encountering a minor issue. When I attempt to set up a password for my user account, I am required to use a password with a minimum of 6 characters... Is it possible to set a shorter password?

Thank you in advance.

You really shouldn't. Shorter passwords are so easy to crack these days.

But if you really want to, you can use chpasswd to do it.
you'll get the BAD PASSWORD message, but it will be applied anyway.

Thank you for the tip Gapan
