On ME simply press escape at the logon screen. Do a search for *.PWL.
Delete the PWL for the user account whos password you want to change.

Fine - if it's the logon password.
We haven't yet established that that is what the poster wanted to know.

Essentially the same method works for those pesky screen saver and power
management passwords, unless there is 3rd party stuff on the box. That I
won't go into, neither BIOS passwords, nobody that concerned about security
should be forgetting them. It's all been posted before though. sheepish
