Where do I change my password for the Joomla forum

Post by rowbygoren » Thu Oct 23, 2014 12:48 am

Hi

I recently had my password changed and it said in the email that I can go in and change the password from the temporary one provided in the email.

However I could not find anything in the User Control Panel where I can change my Joomla forum password.

Is it staring me in the face? I clicked everywhere.

Perhaps the email that is sent out should be more specific on exactly where in the User Control Panel one changes their temporary password.

Here's what the email says "You can of course change this password yourself via the profile page. If
you have any difficulties please contact the board administrator."

Thanks!

Try the following:

- Log into the Joomla! Forum
- Click on the link User Control Panel that is on the horizontal menu
- On the left panel, click on the menu item Profile (that is in the menu OPTIONS)
- On the left panel, in the expanded menu item, click on the menu item Edit account settings
- In the resultant EDIT ACCOUNT SETTINGS screen, you can change the password
