Moving Pivot Point Problems..

I Started Teaching myself how to use Maya 5 about 2 weeks ago.. and so i bought the "Learning Maya 5" and other related books... now my problem is that.. I'm currently working on a project where... I have to

Bind the head into the skeleton, you will constrain the heads position and orientation to match the skeletons top joint

Now my problem is that.. I am following to the steps to move the pivot point of the head to the base of the head and it's not working.. and its pissed me off so much i've started on other projects... can Someone please tell what what im doing wrong??

These are the steps I follow:

1.Select the head surface 2.Select Modify >Center Pivot 3. Select Move tool 4. Press the 'insert key" 5. Move heads pivot to the base of the head 6. Press 'insert' key


**I can never get past the 4th step because unless im dense or something... the object doesn't go into edit mode and I just end up moving the whole head instead of the pivot point... over and over.. :angry: **

Thank you for whatever help you guys/gals can offer me!!
