Log in with your admin account. From the command line, enter -

sudo passwd <user-id>When prompted, enter the new password (the screen will not show the password as you type it), and then enter it again when asked to confirm. That is it - your password should be changed.

Thanx. I also notice that if I log in to my admin-desktop I can change the users-accont without present user password in GUI System-->Admin-->Users and Group :)
