Basically, you can change your password yourself if you still know your current password.

If you no longer know your password, you can have your password reset. You can find more information about this in the FAQ article "Forgotten password". 

In addition to your main password, you can also set a service password for the WLAN service and change it. The procedure for doing this can be found in the FAQ article "Setting and changing the WLAN password".
