    Right click on the header thats there now. Press show picture/image, whatever your browser offers. Look at the URL of the picture yourdomain.tld/yourWPblog/wp-content/wp-themes/theme-name/images/headlogo.jpg.gif.png ... something like that.

    Rename your new logo to the old name... Open a file browser for your hosting, and browse to the directory where the image is, and replace it with the new one.

    It might not fit perfectly... You might have to take a look at your .css stylesheet. But that's an easy way of changing it.

    An even easier way would be to use http://www.yvoschaap.com/wpthemegen/

    If you name your new header image the same as the existing one, and use the same dimensions, you won't need to worry about css as the css already refences the file. You may need to clear your browser cache or refesh the browser a couple of time for the image to load from the site rather than from you cache.
