2. Click on the Setting link on the right-up corner
3. Choose the Change Password vertical-tab
4. Enter a wrong "Current Password" value
5. Enter a new password in the New Password and New Password Confirm bixes

The password will be changed to the new one althought the old password is wrong.

Comment 1 Matthias Runge 2013-10-28 07:34:04 UTC 
Yes, that's a known issue in a pre-release. It's already fixed in all python-django-horizon-2013.2-1 builds (and later).
