This is the preferred method, but you can also change your password via the [[selfhelp:accounts:pwdmgmt|Password Management tool.]]\\

Open "**System Preferences**" either from the icon in your dock or by going to the Apple logo in the upper lefthand corner and then selecting "**System Preferences**"

===== Note =====
After you have changed your password. If you have your account logged into any clients (e.g. an email client) please make sure to update the settings in those clients as they will attempt to log in and fail repeatedly causing you to be locked out of your account.
