Here's how to change your password:

1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page, and open the Accounts and Import tab.

Make sure you create a unique password to help keep someone from breaking in to your account. Here are a few tips for creating your password, and keeping it safe:

• Never tell anyone your password.
• Never write down your password. Even though your password will look random to others, think of a way to remember it so that you don't have to write it down.
• Change your password periodically.
• Don't choose a dictionary word as your password. Be creative.
• Include punctuation marks. Mix capital and lowercase letters. Use numbers. A variety of characters makes it harder to guess a password.
