Well,

I tried to convert some .png images to .jpg but, unfortunately I was not
able neither to use the command nor to install it with the commands:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick and,
sudo apt-get install graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat
both want a [sudo] password
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I want some help there,
Thanks.

The standard image viewer will let you Save As JPG already...

If you have a basic installation with a single user, it's probably the password you use when you first log into your system.

Once you have imagemagick installed, it's easy to convert from one format to another. From the command line, just do:

convert filename.png filename.jpg
