I go through Options/Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords - but then when I right click on the account for which I need to change the password, the Edit Password option is grayed out. Why and how can I get that option back?

Delete it, you will be asked for the password if it is required and missing.

Thanks. I ended up deleting the account and re-adding it. That got me through.
