if you know the old passwd just type in the config mode
enable secret "PASSWORD"
for telnet access you change it in line vty comand mode with command password "something"
if you dont know the old pwd you have to follow the pwd recovery ptrocedure

Sorry, I've no experience with Cisco.

I use hyperterminal to access the router, once I log in, what are the configuration commands to type to chanbe the password?

Thanks for your help.
if you are in the enable mode type:
conf t
than
enable secret 'your password'

thats all
