if the script was useradd ...............<new_user>; passwd <new_user>;. is there a way to put the new password in a script? I don't need to change or add an old password for an existing user. I need to enter a brand new password twice when prompted.

I'm not changing a password, I'm setting it for the first time. I found the answer in the previous link. – dbruceh Apr 14 '19 at 17:15

1@dbruceh Changing the password or setting the password is the same thing if you're root. – Kusalananda Apr 14 '19 at 17:44
