Change Your Password

You can only change your own password. Nobody can change the password of another user because it requires knowing the user's existing password. However, an admin can set a new password for another user without knowing the existing password. See [Set a User's Password](#set-a-users-password) above. #### Allowed For * Agents * End Users
