Since many Androids are attached to a Google account, you can change your password from your Google account using a web browser. You don't, however, need to use a web browser to do this. This wikiHow will teach you how to change your Google password on your phone if you still know it as well as how to reset a password you've forgotten. If you're using an iPhone or iPad, you'll need to perform the same steps from the Gmail app.
