Greetings!

This is Tin, you can also reset your password by following the steps below specially if you have forgotten your old password.

Go to https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx

Enter your email address and proceed to the verification.

Once you were able to verify it, you will be able to reset your password.

Changing an Outlook (Outlook.com/Microsoft account) password is done on the Microsoft account website, not directly in the Outlook app on the computer.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a browser on the computer and go to https://account.microsoft.com.
2. Sign in with the Outlook/Hotmail email address and current password.
3. In the left pane, select Security.
4. Select Change password at the top of the page.
5. Complete any verification (for example, 2-factor authentication) if prompted.
6. On the Change your password page, enter the Current password.
7. Enter a New password, reenter it to confirm, and select Save.

If Outlook for Windows is installed and uses that account, it will normally pick up the new password automatically. If it keeps asking for a password, update the stored password in Outlook using the guidance in Change or update your email password in Outlook for Windows.
