Hi jeunghun,
Dec 20, 2018 The passwd command changes the user’s password. For example, change your own password using the Terminal app, run: passwd To change password for user named jerry, run: sudo passwd jerry. This page explained the process for changing the password of root user using the passwd command on a macOS Unix system. When you change the password, you'll see a prompt letting you know a new login keychain - what MacOS uses to store your passwords will be created, but your old keychain will remain saved on your Mac. Feb 19, 2019 The guest user doesn’t get to store files permanently and there are no log in credentials for it. When you see the log in screen on macOS, you only have to click the Guest account and you’ll be taken to the desktop. There’s no option to set up a password for it either.
The reason why Disk Password is showing up as a user is because you formatted your volume as APFS (Encrypted). To do this, your volume had to be encrypted by a password. When you installed macOS onto the volume, FileVault recognized that the volume was already encrypted and that only the disk password you set earlier could unlock it. Hence, the disk password became a user on the FileVault unlock screen. Later, when you added users to the volume, FileVault used their passwords as additional keys to the volume and added them as users to the FileVault unlock screen. Now, both your disk password that you set earlier and the users on that volume can unlock FileVault. If you log in using Disk Password, you'll get sent to the login screen since Disk Password isn't a real user.

If you format your volume as APFS (not encrypted), and then later use FileVault to encrypt your volume, FileVault will nondestructively convert your volume to APFS (Encrypted) and only use user passwords (and the recovery key) as keys that can unlock the volume. Turning off FileVault will revert your volume to APFS (not encrypted).
To remove Disk Password, log in as an administrator and enter sudo fdesetup list in Terminal. You'll be prompted for your password (Terminal will not show characters while you type your password). Enter your password and hit Return. Terminal will list all users that are authorized to unlock FileVault. Then, use one of these commands to remove the Disk Password user:
sudo fdesetup remove -user (insert username to remove here)
sudo fdesetup remove -uuid (insert uuid of disk password user here)
Hope this helps!

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306840
..which has you first delete, then change, the old password.
Hmmm this article does only delete a part of a user's record, the AuthAuthority value, in fact. This article is useful if you have a user created in 10.2.x and migrated in 10.5.
Beginning with 10.3, Apple changed the way passwords are stored for more security. Before 10.3, passwords were stored in the NetInfo database, in the users entries, using the unsecure crypt hash. Starting with 10.3, passwords are using stronger hashes (SHA-1 and beginning with 10.4 a Salted-SHA1) and they are no longer stored in the users entries but in /private/var/db/shadow/hash, in a file which is named with each user's GeneratedUID (not the old unix UID, be careful). This folder is only accessible to root and the AuthAuthority attribute tells the system which kind of password you have.
So, if your user was created before 10.3 and you have migrated it, you may want to do what this KB article explains.
The dscl command portion of this hint will work in 10.4 - I just used it to remotely reset admin passwords on several machines via ARD.
Thanks!!!

Once you mount the file system, can't you just use passwd <username> ?
Of course neither method will change the user's login keychain password.

passwd will change the user's password in whatever way the system has been set up. Unix systems don't all use /etc/passwd, actually most standalone systems use /etc/shadow not /etc/passwd. Most networked systems use ldap or kerberos or even opendirectory. If passwd has been tailored correctly to the mac it should change the user's password correctly. Maybe not the keychain access password though.
N.B. I haven't tried using passwd in 10.5.
I did just the following after rebooting to single user mode in 10.5 and it worked:
After the next reboot my machine didn't automatically login, even though it is configured to do so, and it prompted me for the keychain password in order join my wireless network, but it did honor the new password and it sounds like you can subsequently reset the password in System Preferences to change the keychain password.Remove Password From Yahoo Mail
You don't have to worry about the Keychain password. Once you change the user's password and can log into the computer all need to do is simply go into the Accounts preference pane and change the password there to either the new password or something different if you so choose. That action will then automatically change the Keychain Password. I've done this several hundred times on Macs from 10.0 through 10.4.11 I haven't yet had to change a password on a Leopard box but I'm sure it will work just the same.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work with 10.5. I just did this and now can't access the login keychain (OS 10.5.6). Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way around this.
Aside from Open Firmware/EFI passwords, you can configure your Mac so that the root password must be entered in order to access Single User Mode. If your root account is disabled, then it is impossible to enter the root password, and Single User Mode cannot be started.
To do this, the console and ttys must be marked as insecure in /etc/ttys:
1. Log in as administrator
2. Open Terminal
3. cd /etc
4. sudo cp ttys ttys.old (backs up previous ttys config).
5. sudo pico ttys
6. Replace all occurrences of the word 'secure' with 'insecure' at any lines that do not begin with a '#'
7. Exit, saving changes.
These instructions are from the Apple Mac OS X Security Configuration manual.
This procedure works except that the password for login.keychain remains lost. What will reset that? Thanks!
