In step 1 I get the option to transfer it to a new user or an existing user. I want to transfer it to an existing user, but a password is required for that. I don't get it, should I ask the user for his password to transer the domain or what?
How do I transfer the domain name?
thanks
...least that is the way it works with every other registrar I've used.
johnd isn't asking how to transfer a domain between registrars, he's asking how to change the Registrant contact info(without changing registrars) because he's given/sold the domain to someone else. Go Daddy calls that "Transfer of Ownership", which no doubt adds to the confusion in situations like this.
(By the way, Go Daddy charges $19.95 for Transfer of Ownership, and requires notorized signatures from the new and old registrants. That's a "feature" that's going to bite a lot of speculators on the ass.)
Anyway, the answer to the original question is: Don't use an existing userid. Make up a new userid/password combination, and give that to the new Registrant. Then get started on the notarized part of the transaction.
Once the Transfer of Ownership is complete, the new userid/password will become active, and the new registrant should use the "Change Login Info" link on their Domain Manager screen to change the userid/password to something that the old registrant doesn't know.
You know, Go Daddy has a domain services department for this kind of thing. The phone number is (480) 505-8899.
Never again.
Miles.
