If you are logging onto the domain then use control-alt-delete to bring up
the security menu while logged on with that account and select change
password box to change your own password. The link below is for security
basics for small businesses which you may find useful on your network. Keep
in mind that the built in Windows help is excellent for finding out how to
do most everything. Go to the start menu, select help, and use index to
search for topics. I also suggest you buy the Pocket Consultant for Windows
2000 to learn how to do many tasks. -- Steve
