Change Password

  1. Go to yourdomain.com.au/wp-admin
  2. A login screen will open. Just enter your WordPress username and password. (You will have received this information earlier from us).
  3. Now you will see your WordPress Dashboard, as it’s called (it looks pretty confusing). But not to worry.
  4. Click on “Users” in the left hand side menu and then click on your username.
  5. Now simply scroll down and fill in a new password where it says “New Password” and click “Save”. All done!
  6. Hint: it’s a good idea to choose a password that contains numbers, letters, symbols and some uppercase letters too, and is not a real word.
