I can only change my password on the SC email page.  When I
access the reporting site, a different server I am asked for a password. I
have to log in separately to that site. However, the password is the same
as for the email server, so obviously they "talk" to each other. There is
no way to change the password on just the reporting site. Both passwords
are identical. Two separate servers - one password. Clearly they "talk"
and the bug I ran into is a communication problem between them.
