Follow the prompts.

Your HAVE to have set up your RESET QUESTIONS FIRST.  Do it in the Portal.  My Account, Password Challenge!

Need to know when your password expires?

WDID? (What do I do?)

I have a good secure BASE password.  Lets say it is H@rRy_P0tt3r#07 Looks secure right Harry Potter #7  if you look close enough.  Easy to remember.
When I need to to change it all I change is the number at the end!

If you want to make it different for each website or location as they say all password should different I just put a clue or initials at the end of the password.
For instances;

• Google password could be -  H@rRy_P0tt3r#07go
• Dropbox - password could be -  H@rRy_P0tt3r#07dr
• Yahoo - password could be -  H@rRy_P0tt3r#07ya

...And sometimes I still forget and have to reset it also.  
I also personally have enough Accounts and passwords that I keep a spreadsheet of them all!.  And yes, that Excel Spreadsheet is passworded!
