Changing Your Account Password

When you change the password associated with your user account, remember that a password must be between 5 and 20 characters long, must contain at least one uppercase and one lowercase character, and must contain at least one number. You cannot use the special keyboard characters. If you forget your password and reset it, you can reuse the existing password (the one you thought you forgot).

Notes:

• If you have a social site linked to this account, you cannot change the password for the social site here. If you change the password on your social site, you must link your accounts again.
• You must be logged in to change your password. To recover a forgotten password, refer to Recovering Your User Name or Password.
