Just tried to change the password on my windows XP Pro system, and despite the fact that my username is in the “administrator” group, I get the “don’t have permission” error when I try to change my password.
What’s up with that?

Try this:
See if this fixes it. Else, it’s most likely one of the settings in here somewhere that needs to be changed.
Try going to Start / Programs / Administrative Tools / Computer Management from the Start menu.
Fun your user under the “Local Users and Groups / Users” page and bring up its properties. Check that “User cannot change password” is not checked.
As far as I know this setting overrides all other security rights.
