TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD (America Online 9.0):

Note: You must sign on to a Master Screen Name account in order to be able to change the password for the Master Screen Name account or any sub-account.

Note 2: If you cannot remember your current password, call America Online at 1-888-265-8004. They will then give you a temporary password. You can change the temporary password to a permanent one using these instructions after you sign on.

1) Click on the Settings button at the top of the America Online window.

2) Click on Password Reset.

3) Type the old password in the Current Password: box.

6) Click on OK.

7) Try the new password. (If you have ü Save Password checked on the Sign On window, be sure to click to remove the check mark. Type in your new password, then click on the Sign On button. When you are sure the new password works, you can click on ü Save Password again.)
