Reset or create user and its password by bash script

Reset or create user and its password by bash script

I would like to share these small one liner and it is quite good for Linux System Admin who wants to know how to reset passwd with bash script.

Example 1: In this eg. we will create new user and set the passwd.
UserName : test
Passwd : test123

#!/bin/bash
useradd test;echo test123|passwd test –stdin

Example 2: In this example we will reset the passwd.

Username: linuxtribe
Passwd : sort_1t_out

#!/bin/bash

echo sort_1t_out|passwd linuxtribe –stdin

Note: The script starts from #!/bin/bash
