> passwd

use that and it will prompt you to change your own pass.
if you want to change someone elses pass you have to use options that are available for that command, one that come to mind are:

> passwd user
//change the password for the user if you have permission

> passwd -d user
//delete user's password if you have permission

other options can be found by looking at the man page of the command:
> man passwd


oh yeah '>' means console so no need to enter that just enter what I put after '>'
