You mean you used method 2 from here? In other words, edited the grub entry to boot into bash and changed the password using passwd. It’s the same on Manjaro.
You seem be talking about changing your user’s password…though it’s difficult to tell for sure, due to confusing and non standard terms…either way you use passwd.
“Install a password” is nonsense. All passwords are for authentication of some sort.

Really? I find that difficult (but not impossible) to believe.
- You’ve explained yourself poorly using confusing and non standard terms
- You’ve replied to your own post
- @anon51566685’s first two posts were completely reasonable, it was you who started being rude
If this thread is anything to go on, its probably because you didn’t phrase your search terms correctly
I just did a quick search “manjaro change password”, here are the first 4 results:

passwd and using a live USB are common to all distros, as is editing grub menu entries (assuming they use grub).
