Changing WordPress Admin Password

The reason for my latest change in password was that I had to get technical help from my hosting providers.  And they needed access to my admin area.  So I created a new (temporary) WordPress Admin password.  That way, I can give them access till the issue is resolved.  And then I can change it back later.

However I do recommend this article Five Ways to Change your WordPress Password  (by digwp.com).  It is very concise and clear.  And helpful.  And it will cover other situations when you might be needing or wanting to change your WordPress admin password.
