You can change your or other user's password via administrative instance in the User table.

Role required: admin, security_admin or user_manager.
Users without these roles cannot change other user's passwords, i.e., they can edit the Password field only in their user record. |
To edit a user record, perform the following steps:
- Navigate to User Administration → Users.
- Find and open the record you need using the Condition Builder or the list search boxes.
- Enter a new password into the Password field.
- Click Save or Save and Exit to apply changes.
When a user changes another user's password, an email notification is sent to the user whose password has been changed.
