To change the VPS password (WinSCP/Putty) 1. Login to SSH via xShell4 (Recommended) or Putty 2. Type in the command: passwd(then press ENTER. Do not type the word "password" at the command line -- it won't work!) 3. Type in the new password(Type it in; it will not show up on the screen, not even as little stars.) 4. Retype your new password(If it is too simple "letters only, or based on a dictionary word", it will tell you so and reject that password) 5. All done
