i just added a user with the adduser command in the terminal and i need to change the password. Also, is there a GUI based program for configurating passwords and users. I am running linux mandrake with Gnome. Thanks.

As root:

passwd <username>

You will then be promted for new password.

I would look for a program called "YAST" for your platform for more GUI based user administration. Good luck
