- the password you talk of is windows passwords however the one im trying to change is the power up screen password which comes on within approx 2 secs of switching on ie before windows start ???
press F8 on start up and enter safe mode and highlight start windows in safe mode, and log in windows using administrator account and go to user accounts and profiles and in the other log on account delete the password and restart windows.
If you mean the bios password only removing the cmos disc shaped battery on the motherboard for 5 minutes or so can delete the password.

- if you can get into the account and are able to input the password, then to change it you go to control panel>user accounts>change an account and then choose the account to change password, but this can only be done if your account was created as an administrator account, if only a guest account you cannot change anything.
You may have to create yourself another account (administrative) if you cannot change passwords
