How to change your WordPress password?

Ashish from India asks:

I have just finished to set up my WordPress self hosted blog, and i am not exactly sure about how can i change my WordPress password to increase security. Can you help?

Modifying a WordPress password is typically done from the Admin panel. You will need to hit users, then hit your user name. Close to the page bottom you will see the new password field. You’ll need to type your new password twice. Make sure that you type a strong password (WordPress will alert you in case the password is not strong enough), and save your changes.

It might be advisable to log your new passwords in a secured password keeping utility. In any case, if you forget your password in the future, WordPress has an easy to use password reminder feature that you should be able to use if you are stuck with the wrong password.
