Changing Your Password When You’re Already Logged In

Follow these steps to change your password if you already have access to your account. It’s possible you’ll need to use these instructions to reset your password if you have been manually given access to Pressbooks by a Pressbooks administrator.

1. Hover over your name in the top menu in Pressbooks and click Edit My Profile
This will bring you to your Profile Settings page. Note that you can also arrive on this page by going to Users > Your Profile from the sidebar menu.

2. Scroll down to the Account Management section

3. Next to New Password, click Generate Password 
Pressbooks will autogenerate a new, secure, password for you to use. If you prefer, you can manually replace this with a password of your own choosing.

4. Click Update Profile to save your new password
