Changing Account Password
Options for changing your account password differ with protocol you are using with your server. Most servers actually do not allow changing password using file transfer protocols used by WinSCP. In such case, you will need to use some alternative method.

WebDAV and S3 protocols
WebDAV and S3 protocols do not provide a method for changing an account password/secret access key.
Alternative methods
If you have a terminal (SSH) access to your server, change your password in the terminal session.
If you do not have a terminal access, your server administrator (e.g. webhosting providers) will have another method for changing a password (typically via their web site).
