Hi oxo42,

Sorry, I missed the LL 1.0.8.
I started with 2.0, now 2.2, can't remember when User Manager came along.

A quick Google shows the following, although I would wait for confirmation from a more experienced user

Open a terminal or use ctrl-alt-t
then:

Code:
sudo passwd <username>

like:

Code:
sudo passwd oxo42

It will prompt you for your "current" password
Then ask for "new" password then ask to confirm it.

Hi
Thank you to all who have contributed.

I have gone with Wirezfree suggestion, and have now sucessfully changed my User/Login Password using the Terminal.

I no longer need "Kdepasswd" so I have uninstalled it.

Once again many thanks to you all.
