Step 2:  Locate your Email section and cPanel and select Email Accounts

Step 3: Select the Email Accounts in the Email section.

Step 4: Look to the right side of the email account that you want to change the password for and click the Manage button.

Step 5: Enter the password you would like to change your Webmail to in the New Password box, or click on the Generate button to generate a new password for your email account.

5a: The eye icon can be used to see what your password currently is
5b: Use the generate icon to generate a strong password for you.  If you do not like the password created, click again to refresh a new option.
