I am having the same problem as others on this forum. When I try to create a strong password so that I can access the folders my colleague shared, I get the "There was a problem changing your password." error. I have tried all the troubleshooting suggestions, but none of them work. I need to access these folders as soon as possible, so please help!

Hi Mark, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 

To reset the password for your Box account, 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!
