  1. Start
  2. Command Prompt

  4. Press control and alt on your keyboard, and click the Delete key on the on screen display
  5. Click the X on the on screen display to get rid of it
  6. Click Change Password
  7. Enter your old password, then your new one twice
  8. Press Enter
  9. Click the X on the on screen display
