And once in you can issue passwd username
you will then be prompted for the password and you will need to enter it twice.
I've never changed a user password while in single user mode so I hope this works. My system is setup where I have to be sudo or root to change a password. Unless of course it is my password I'm trying to change.
You can find your users by listing then with the cat command. They are in the /etc/passwd file.
So do this : cat /etc/passwd
