1. dismount all network shares
2. use the finder's "go-->connect to server"
3. type the server name or address and click "connect." the authentication dialog box appears.
4. BEFORE you log in, click on the gear icon in the pop-up menu (lower left of the authentication dialog) and choose "change password"

This sure looks helpful, but when I try it I don't have the popup menu you describe. Is this server-specific?
