changing passwords

Post by PLAIN JANE » Tue Sep 07, 2010 1:40 pm

Due to circumstances I had to change my password.
Now I can't get it to accept a new one and am currently stuck with the numbers and letters I was randomly given. Any help would be appreciated.

Go to "User Control Panel" (top RHS of the screen).

Then go to "Profile" and then "Edit account settings".

Put your "alphabet soup" password into "Current password" and then the new password of your choice into the "New" and "Confirm" boxes :) .
