Depending on how LON-CAPA is authenticating you, you may be able to
change your password. 

To change your password, do the following:

\begin{enumerate}

\textbf{Password}. 
\item Type your current password in the \textbf{current password} text box.
\item Type your new password in the \textbf{new password} text box.
\item Re-type your new password in the \textbf{confirm password} box.
\item Click the \fbox{Save} button.

\end{enumerate}

If you cannot change your password, please contact your system
administrator to find out how. At Universities
users often authenticate against the campus-wide
system. For those users to change the password LON-CAPA uses, they
need to change their campus-wide password. Your system administrator will know
what you need to do.
