The User Password is not changing for some reason. In the terminal it says password updated successfully,

$ sudo passwd
[sudo] password for zaigham: 
Enter new UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: password updated successfully

But when I try to log in using the new password it doesn't work. I have changed my password 2, 3 times now but still it's the same. Is that some kind of bug?

To change your own passwd use just passwd not sudo passwd.
