I have a new install, and haven't set a password since I installed.
I want to set a password for the account Trisquel, but when I use User Settings, I need to put my "current password" for it to change.

I have tried putting both blank and "password", but neither of those work.

This problem occurs on both a new install and on the Live CD.

Try "trisquel".

Try reinstalling Trisquel, setting the password during the installation.

If you have a live media, you could edit /etc/shadow which contains the passwords and blank the correct field.

1. boot a live media
2. mount your root partition
3. edit /etc/shadow
4. blank the correct field (=password for your user)
5. reboot into installed OS
6. use the passwd command to set a new password

To figure out the right field read the shadow manual page

man shadow
