Which email provider are you using?


For an iCloud email, your password is your Apple Account password. For all other providers, you’ll need to go to their website to change the email password. Once the password changed, go to Settings > Apps > Mail > Mail Accounts > [your email account] > Account Settings and update your password.

I'm not sure where Outlook manages the mail accounts. (I use the Mail app.) Look in Settings > Apps > Outlook to see if you can modify the mail accounts.


Otherwise, remove the account and add it again. For the Mail app, this is done in Settings > Apps > Mail > Mail Accounts. For Outlook, go there as well if you don't find the accounts in Settings > Apps > Outlook.
