Under the **User Profile** section scroll down to **Password Management**

You will be asked to enter your current password and then your new password.

Once you have filled in those details click the **Change Password **button, to confirm and update your new password.

The control panel will reject your password if it fails the minimum criteria (incorect length or complexity)

**Important note: **This feature only changes the password for your username. Other e-mail accounts, databases, FTP accounts, etc. will not be affected by the password change.
