Using Start - Run to change Password. Click on Start-Run, type: CONTROL userpasswords2, then click on OK. When the "User Accounts" window loads, click once on the username you wish to change the password for, then click on the "Reset Password" button.

Just got a new computer & it has Vista; however, in transferring all files from old one to the new one, it created 2 users. How can I combine them into one since I'm the only one using it? My address book in Outlook is on one user & only the contacts on the other. I see the instructions for putting the contacts in the address book, but it's greyed out & will not let me do it. Any ideas how to fix these two problems?

do you mean in add remove programs? you should only have the latest version located there if that is what you meant, having old versions is a huge risk to your security. Now the newest version will remove the previous version but you do have to remove all the other old versions manually. JavaRA is an excellent little tool that will do all the hard work for you.
