Hi oxo42,
Sorry, I missed the LL 1.0.8.
I started with 2.0, now 2.2, can't remember when User Manager came along.
A quick Google shows the following, although I would wait for confirmation from a more experienced user
Open a terminal or use ctrl-alt-t
then:
like:
It will prompt you for your "current" password
Then ask for "new" password then ask to confirm it.

Hi
Thank you to all who have contributed.
I have gone with Wirezfree suggestion, and have now sucessfully changed my User/Login Password using the Terminal.
I no longer need "Kdepasswd" so I have uninstalled it.
Once again many thanks to you all.
