I should have added that I can right-click on Login and there is an option to change password that pops up a box for the new password. I have to enter the old password first, then Continue, and then the new password. I can leave the new password blank, but then it says if I leave it blank I have no security and anyone can change my password. I left it at that, so maybe I solved this problem.
