Pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL does not bring up any Windows Security dialog box. It brings up the Task Manager. Do you mean the Windows Security Center, which I can open from the Control Panel? I have XP Pro SP3. In neither place do I see an option for “Change Password.”

If you are running Microsoft XP Professional, pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del should bring up a dialog box from which you can choose ‘Task Manager’. From this dialog, you can also choose ‘Change Password’.
If you are running Microsoft XP Home, pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del will bring up ‘Task Manager’ and you will need to go into ‘Control Panel’ and ‘Users’ to change your password.

To those who get the Task Manager in Windows XP, you have to disable the Welcome Screen. See this TechNet article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281980

Well, this is fine for changing the XP password, but I want to find out what the Network Password is.
My computer is not password protected.
I am installing a network extender that requires me to enter the Network Password. (Cisco-Linksys), I do not know what it is.
