Password Change?

One or more places on my Vista and Office software have
"enter name and password" screens, with a box to check if I
want the system to remember the password. When one checks
that box I assume one is no longer asked for the password.
What if one checks the box and then later needs/wants to
change the password? How does one "generally" accomplish
that? If there is no MS standard procedure, what are the
2-3 most common procedures?

Actually, my question applies even if one does not check the
box at those screens - how does one change a password?

Thanks.

Thanks. In the past I have always been very frustrated with
MS's Help function, but maybe it has improved with Vista, so
I'll give it another try. Thanks again.
