Hi Adrian,

Where you keep your password? Is it sort of database (XML, Aceess, MSSQL, MySQL ...)?

In order to change the password usually you prompt your users to enter the old one and then if it matches you change it by using an UPDATE statement. e.g.

If statement (expression) Then
   UPDATE accounts SET Password='" & TextPassowrd.Text & "' WHERE User = '" & loggeduser & "'
End If

This is just a pseudo code but should give you an idea about how it works.

yup keep in database access, thx for your help, so beside that do you know how to link the username and password to the database?
