rpc password is set in bitcoin.conf:

Code:
find / -name bitcoin.conf

Highlight the full path and file name, hit Ctrl+Shift+C

Type nano, hit Space and then Ctrl+Shift+V

This should look something like this

Quote
nano /home/user1/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

Enter


Might be nano is not installed, so you could use vi. nano is easier to work with for most though, so install it with
Code:
sudo apt-get install nano
