Answer 1

Once you have logged in to the PC, press these three keys at the same time:  the Control key, the Alt key and the Delete key.

From the list that pops up, choose "Change Password"  Then, type in your existing password in the "Old Password" box.  After that, type in your new password into the other 2 boxes.

If you use Windows XP - when running press CTRL-ALT-DEL together.
