Can you change/find out your password if you are already logged in?

Hello,

I installed a new version of ubuntu and clicked the auto login feature, unfortunately the password that I set doesn't work (not sure why), so I can't install programs or upgrade. I was just wondering if there was an easy way I could find it out or do I have to reinstall?

Thanks

Used this once before after a little bug on a upgrade. It worked great.
