Assuming you are running GNOME, System -> Administration -> users & Groups. Click on the user you want to change the password of, and then click Properties. Near the bottom of the window that appears is an area for passwords.

Press Alt+F2, check "Run in terminal", write "passwd" and press "Run" button, follow the instructions.
