Thanks a bounch for the reply, but it doesn't work;

"The standard way" gives me an error when I type in a new password;

error manipulating the authentificationtoken 
(my translation from danish).

"The other way" and "The other way lucid" (I tried that one too) gives 
this message;

bash: cannot set terminal group (-1): inapropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell
root@(none):/#
