From the web interface:
66
<LI>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <A HREF="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</A> for
67

71
<LI>Look for the password changing boxes on the right-hand side of the
72
page and enter your new password in the appropriate boxes, then press the
73
button marked ``Change My Password.''
78
This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you are subscribed to
79
more than one list on the same domain. See Section <A HREF="node34.html#sec:global">10.1</A> for
80
information about changing settings globally.

From the email interface:
86
<LI>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
87
<var>password <SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG

Section <A HREF="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</A> for more information about sending mail

For example, if <span class="email">kathy@here.com</span> wanted to change her <var>mylist</var>
125
password from <var>zirc</var> to <var>miko</var>, but she was sending mail from
126
her work address <span class="email">kathy@work.com</span>, she could send a message
127
to <span class="email">mylist-request@example.com</span> with the subject set to
128
<var>password zirc miko address=kathy@here.com</var>.
