I have looked at 'My Settings', and found only 'Change Email Address' but not 'Change Password'.
Thank you.

Your user name is not actually case sensitive. You may login as MeshPlayer or meshplayer or MESHPLAYER as you wish, and others will see that particular capitalization for that session. The next time you login, you may freely use a different capitalization pattern.

BBO's username is case insensitive, but forums' isn't.

If you click 'forgot password' on the login screen, you can reset from there.

If he forgot his password he wouldn't have been able to login to the forum.
To change your password from the BBO application, view your profile, enter the new password into the Password and Confirm Password fields, and click Save Changes.

I just logged on BBO and tried to change password but did not process.
My idea of changing password is to use a securer password,
so I want to change to a longer one.
However BBO allows only up to ten letters for a password,
which is not enough for me.
Is there a way to overcome that?

No, 10 is the max, but you can use numbers and symbols to make it more secure.
