How to change password in /etc/shadow to *

$
0
0

Looking at /etc/shadow, I see that system accounts have a * character in the password field, making it impossible to login as those accounts using a password.

I have a user account that I made, for which I now want a * as password in /etc/shadow.

I can't find any command line tool that does that, all I could do is manually edit shadow.

Is there any such command line tool?
