f you have superuser privileges, you can change another user's password. Here, we prefix the command with sudo to run it as the superuser.
sudo passwd 'name of user'

NO matter being SU or ROOT you can't see the password of any user. Thought you can easily overwrite the password using GRUB(recovery) mode. But you being root you can do almost all a non-root user can in his domain
