Default How To Change Password

I would like to change the password that I use when I boot the computer.
I am running XP/Home Edition Version 2002 SP 2.

I checked Help. It says gives two different procedures:
1. when the computer is a member of a workgroup and not a member of a
domain
2. when the computer is a member of a domain

I don't know which case applies. This is essentially a stand alone
computer (it is on a peer-to-peer network but it will soon be removed from
the network).

How can I find out which case applies?

Thanks in advance.

Default How To Change Password

If you were a member of a Domain, you would be aware of the password you
needed for that. If you want to look at the setting for your Workgroup, look
at:
Press WinKey-Break,(or start/run 'sysdm.cpl'), Computer Name Tab, click
Change button
--
click the Ratings button. Voting helps the web interface.

I followed the procedure for case 1 (not in a domain). That did the trick.
Thanks!
