Linux: How to change a user password

Hi there, I would like to know how to change a user password when I'm connected to the root account in SSH (Linux server with Gentoo core)?

Also, I guess that if this account has a website with a database, I'll have to change the Mysql password as well, do you know if there will be other passwords (like ftp & so on) to change?

Thanks.
