Answer 1

Use javascript's location.replace() function:

You can't stop users from going back if they want to, because a browser can do whatever it feels like.

But if you only want to prevent users from going back accidentally, then just make the "change password" page only appear in response to an HTTP POST (not just a URL link, which is an HTTP GET request). Most browsers will give a warning about re-submitting the form if the previous page was the result of a POST request.
