newbie linux and shell scripts/need to change root password on 12 srv

i need to change the root password on 12 servers. I know this is a small amount and I would have already finished changing the passwords manually in the time I have spent searching the forums for the answer. But that is no way to learn. Here is my script but I am still being prompted for the root password. And when I do enter the root password at the prompt, the new password doesn't seem to take. Here is my shell script; #!/bin/bash for x in server1 server2 server3 do echo $x is being fixed ssh $x echo "newpassword" | passwd root --stdin done *The results is root-server]#./aala.sh server1 is being fixed Changing password for user root. root-server1's password: **I am running RHEL 5.6
