Moving up the word "contents" using the titletoc package

[USER]

Hello.

I want to say/ask something about the titletoc package:
Is it possible to control the place where the word "contents" appears
at the beginning of the table of contents? its default value is about
5 cm from the top of the page, but I want to put it higher, say at
2cm. I want to do similar things with the word "chapter" in the
corresponding chapters (the opening page of a chapter;
I use \documentclass[12 pt]{report} ).

I have looked at the manual

http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec/titlesec.pdf

and I must admit that I haven't found a way [or simply haven't
understood how? sorry for that :-) ] to do it.

Thank you very much for your patience and kind attention,

USER

Try:
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0em}{-3cm}{0em}
