You can just open and run Outlook. Outlook will then ask you for the updated password in a pop-up dialog. However, if there are no dialog boxes popping up, you can try to update the password here:

1. Click File > Info > Account Settings > Manage Profiles to open the Mail Setup dialog box. Then click Email Accounts.

2. In the Account Settings dialog box, please click to highlight the email account whose login password you will update, and then click the Change button. See screenshot:

3. In the Change Account dialog box, please clear the old password from the Password box, type the new login password into it, and click the Next button.

Note: If you do not want to test the login password and other email account settings, please uncheck the Automatically test account settings when Next is clicked option.

4. Now the Test Account Settings dialog box comes out. After testing completes, please click the Close button.

5. Click the Finish button to save the new password, and then close the Account Settings dialog box.

Up to now, the specified email account’s login password has been updated in Outlook.
