I go to "My Computer " and am asked to give the previous password and
then
to change to the new one....

It does not matter. Even if you changed the password to one of your own, ME
gives no security whatsoever.

Upgrade to Windows 2000 for security.

Or you can fool many people by setting the screen blanker to kick on (with a
password). Go to: Start Settings Control Panel Display
Screen Saver Power.
