Shell command: chpasswd

chpasswd can be used to change passwords in batch mode.
The following snippet changes the password of the user fred to secretGarden.
Apparently, it is useful if sudo was run recently and thus, root's password needs not be entered here. 
echo 'fred:secretGarden' | sudo passwd
