as soon
as the cursor moves to the top-right corner of the screen.
2. The password prompt is displayed.
3. Enter your current password, then enter the new password
twice, typing the appropriate syntax for your computer
keyboard between the passwords. For example, if you have a
Belgian keyboard, you will type the following:
current password=new password=new password
