Answer / Anju
Shadow passwords in Linux are stored in an encrypted format to enhance security. When a user sets a password, the system creates both plaintext and encrypted versions of that password. The plaintext version is stored in /etc/passwd, while the encrypted version is stored in /etc/shadow.nnYou cannot view or change shadow passwords directly since they are not meant for human consumption. If you need to update a user's password, use commands like passwd or chpasswd instead.
