2. Upload the package to the /root directory of the virtual machine.

3. Log in to the virtual machine and run the following command to install the qemu-ga offline deb package for version 2.5:

   [root@localhost ~]# dpkg -i <package.deb>  //<package.deb> is the downloaded qemu-ga offline deb package for version 2.5

4. Log in to the virtualization platform and try changing the password again.
