The general steps to change a password for an online account typically involve these actions:

1. Sign in to the account on the relevant website or app.
2. Navigate to the account settings or security settings section.
3. Find the option for changing the password, often labeled as "Password" or "Change Password."
4. Enter your current password when prompted.
5. Enter your new password and confirm it by typing it again.
6. Save or confirm the password change.

For example, to change a Google account password, you go to your Google Account, select "Security," then under "How you sign in to Google," select "Password," enter your current password if requested, and then enter and confirm your new password before saving the change. After that, you might need to sign in again on your devices and apps that use this account.

If instructions are needed for a specific platform or account type (such as Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo, Dropbox, or other services), I can provide detailed steps for that particular service.
