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>Code: sudo passwd oxo42It 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.
