Not sure whats going on with my blog, but when I try to change my pass on it, it only allows me to generate new pass, and there is no option to create your own pass? Whats going on? Can anyone shine some light on this matter?

Bro, I encounter before and asked some WR is kind to tell me.
Under generate password that box , highlight the generated strong pass words , remove and input your ones.

Usually ya we tend use pass words which easy to remember.

after input ,

below got one option mention "Are you sure want to use this pass , you just check the box "
that it.

Hope it helps, sorry if my english is poor...

  You can always use the WP lost password plugin. It might be overkill, it you can set your own password with it.

  There's no reason to install a plugin. He just needs to click on the button.

  Are you trying to change your password in the Profile page? I went into mine and I can't see how it could do what you're describing. I've seen WordPress do some strange things though. You can get into the dashboard, can't you?
  
  Thanks

I think something is wrong with your WP. Usually, it should be a option button out there.

  Just take the new password it gives you, log in, and then change your password in the admin settings where your account is.
  
  Remember to hit the save changes.

When I click on generate password it just generates a password, but there is no option for me to write my own password, its weird, I looked through all the options, its across all my sites. Yes I do have my own hosting, hosting at hostgator.

This is the last post I'm going to make in this thread because I'm not sure if you are trolling at this point and you are making me yell at my computer. But I'm going to spell it out for you one last time.

Click the Generate Password button.
Put your cursor in the password box and use the delete or backspace key to erase the password that is in the box.
Type in the password you want.
If your password is weak, you will have to check a box to confirm you want a weak password.
Save your options.
- Thanks
