How to Change Your Password - Windows


Question:
I share my computer with 2 room mates and I'm a Windows 98 user. How do I go about changing my password for Windows?


Answer:

If you share a computer with others and it has a Windows operating system installed, chances are you have your own profile, or desktop settings. When you start up your computer you sign in using your username and password.

To change your password follow these steps:

  • Go to <Start> at bottom left corner of your screen.

  • Select <Settings> option

  • Select <Control Panel> option

  • Select <Passwords> option (the icon for sighted users is a picture of a set of keys)

  • When the Passwords Window opens, select the <Change Passwords> tab.

  • Select <change Windows Password>

  • When the Change Windows Password Box opens, enter your old password, and then enter the new password into the appropriate text boxes.

  • Select <OK> and you've changed your password.
