I would like to change the password of a standard user account.

original title: change password in Windows 7

I would like to change the password of a standard user account. Windows 7 tells me that if I do that some data may be lost. What data, specifically, I lose if I proceed?

I solved the problem.

Initially, I tried to reset the password using computer management > local users and groups > set password. However when I tried Control Panel > user accounts > manage user accounts > reset password I was able to change it without any error message. I guess there is a difference between 'set password' and 'reset password '.
Thank you
