## Change your password using the influx CLI
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the [`influx user password` command](/influxdb/v2.2/reference/cli/influx/user/password)

||
|
|
to update a password for a user. To update a password, you need the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Username or user ID _(provided in the output of `influx user list`)_
|
||
|
|
- New password
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Update a password
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
# Syntax
|
||
|
|
influx user password -n <username>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Example
|
||
|
|
influx user password -n johndoe
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When prompted, enter and confirm the new password.
