Made an account a while ago but in order to access a shared drive with another company I need to set a 'strong' password.  When I try to create the password on my account it says "There was a problem changing your password."

Hi Rob,

Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 

To create a password for your Box account, please follow this process:

  1. Visit https://app.box.com/reset and enter the email address associated with your Box account.
  2. Check your email, you will receive an email with a link to reset your password.
    • Password reset links sent via email expire 3 hours after they are sent. If you need a new link after your current one has expired, visit https://app.box.com/reset to have another link emailed to you.
    • If you do not receive an email from Box for this password reset, check to see if your Box account is associated with that specific email address or another email address.
    • Also, check your spam folder in your email client for this email.

Thanks for posting!
