If its a local account on an XP machine or 2000 you can enter control panel and local users icon to reset accounts. Or enter RUN from Start menu and type lusrmgr.msc to open the applet directly. If the account resides on an active directory server environment then you will need to open the ADUC. You can do this by either drilling down to it from the administration tools menu off the start menu or via control panel or by going to RUN from START menu and entering DSA.msc.

If you don't remember your old password & you want to change your password you have to ask to your administrator to change your password.  Administrator will change your password from Ad server ( Domain Server )

If you know your old password & your environment security & policy can give you rights to cahnge your password yourself, just follow this steps - as you press cltr + alt + del windows security prompt will come on your desktop there is one option to change your  password.

If you are local user ( not domain user ) so follow this steps - right click on my computer - go to user & groups - click on users - & change password of user which user's password you want to change.

If it is for a domain user go to active directory users and computers. Type username and click search. Below you can see user name. Click mouse right button on user name and click on reset password. Type new password and confirm it by typing again. Check the option user must change password at next logon.
