Changing the sudo password on your Steam Deck is just like on any other Linux system! Here's the quickest way: Open up the Terminal app from your Steam Deck's desktop mode, then type 'passwd' and hit enter. It'll prompt you to enter the current sudo password once and then the new password twice for confirmation. Easy peasy!
