Whatever your motive, you will miss a "change password" link in AIM Mail. Fortunately, this does not mean you are stuck with your current password. You just have to take a step back towards what AOL calls your "screen name" (yes, even if you only sign up for AIM Mail you are proud holder of an AOL screen name).
Change Your AIM Mail Password
To alter the password to your AIM Mail account:
- Log in to the AOL screen name service.
- Make sure the Manage Your Account category is open.
- Click Edit under Password:.
- Type your old password under Old Password:.
- Enter your new password under both New Password: and Re-Type new Password:.
- Click Submit.
- Click OK.
Note that good passwords changed periodically do not protect against keyloggers on your computer and people peeking at you typing the password.
