# Change ME Runtime 3.20 and earlier passwords

If you are using security, assign users an Account ID and a password in the Runtime Security editor. If you are using accounts set up in the Runtime Security editor, you can only change passwords using FactoryTalk View Studio.

Tip: | If you are using Windows users or groups, you can only change passwords through the Control Panel. You cannot change them in FactoryTalk View Studio. Users cannot change their passwords and you cannot change the passwords at run time.

2. In the form area, in the Password box, type the new password.
