I have a program that asks input from user on their username and password then stores it in a text file column one is usernames and column 2 is passwords, i need a command that replaces the password when the user inputs their username and new password, heres what i have

#!/bin/bash
#admin menu

#Register User
echo enter the username of the user you want to register.
read reguser
echo enter the password of the user you want to register.
read regpass

User_Pass="username_pass.txt"

if [ ! -e "$User_Pass" ]; 
then
echo "Creating Username and Passwords file"

echo "$reguser $regpass" | cat >> $User_Pass

echo user succesfully registered.

#Change Password

You can use sed

sed -i "s/$change1.*/$change1 $newpass/" username_pass
