<h2><a name="SECTION002620000000000000000">
6.2 How do I change my password?</a>
</h2>
		<span class="warning"><b class="label">Warning:</b>
Do NOT use a valuable password, since this 
		password may be mailed to you in plain text.  </span>

<p>
From the web interface:

<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page.  (See Section&nbsp;<a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for 
   instructions on how to do this.)

<p>
</li>
<li>Look for the password changing boxes on the right-hand side of the
	page and enter your new password in the appropriate boxes, then press the
	button marked "Change My Password."
</li>
</ol>

<p>
This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you are subscribed to 
more than one list on the same domain.  See Section&nbsp;<a href="node34.html#sec:global">10.1</a> for 
information about changing settings globally.

<p>
From the email interface:

<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command 
	<var>password&nbsp;<span class="MATH"><IMG
 WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img1.png"
 ALT="$&lt;$"></span>OLDPASSWORD<span class="MATH"><IMG
 WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img2.png"
 ALT="$&gt;$"></span>&nbsp;<span class="MATH"><IMG
 WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img1.png"
 ALT="$&lt;$"></span>NEWPASSWORD<span class="MATH"><IMG
 WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img2.png"
 ALT="$&gt;$"></span></var>.  

<p>
Commands can appear
	in either the body or the subject of the message.  (See 
	Section&nbsp;<a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
	commands.)  

<p>
If you are not sending mail from your membership address, you can also
	specify this address with <var>address=<span class="MATH"><IMG
 WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img1.png"
 ALT="$&lt;$"></span>ADDRESS<span class="MATH"><IMG
 WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img2.png"
 ALT="$&gt;$"></span></var> after <span class="MATH"><IMG
 WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img1.png"
 ALT="$&lt;$"></span>NEWPASSWORD<span class="MATH"><IMG
 WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img2.png"
 ALT="$&gt;$"></span>.

<p>
For example, if <span class="email">kathy@here.com</span> wanted to change her <var>mylist</var>
	password from <var>zirc</var> to <var>miko</var>, but she was sending mail from 
	her work address <span class="email">kathy@work.com</span>, she could send a message
	to <span class="email">mylist-request@example.com</span> with the subject set to 
	<var>password&nbsp;zirc&nbsp;miko&nbsp;address=kathy@here.com</var>.
</li>
