Can't change forum password

[Method]

So I forgot my password the other day, used the forgot password thingy, got a temp password. I can't change it though. I'm logged in, and when I go to my settings to change it, I'm only given an option to change my email address or set a "local" password for mobile devices. Wtf?

'local' passwords are stored and internally managed by the pc, this is how Windows passwords have traditionally been. The default option when setting up a password from windows 8 on is to use a Microsoft account, this means Microsoft manages your password on their servers. I think you might have forgotten your Microsoft Online account password, which you can reset here https://passwordreset.microsoftonline.com/?mkt=EN-US&ru=https://login.microsoftonline.com/login.srf%3flc%3d1033%26mkt%3dEN-US%26lc%3d1033%26id%3d10%26vv%3d2020&lc=1033

 

Although I do tend to recommend local passwords.
