Re: Adobe has changed my password but still when I try to download the update it goes to the old "hint." for the password I don't rememember. Got the email from Adobe REader that my password has been changed but it doessn't seem to work.

Adobe Reader does not require a password to download from Adobe's web site.   
Adobe Reader's installer does not require a password to function.   
An installed version of Adobe Reader does not require a password.

Sometimes, some computer Operating Systems are configured such that to install an application or to install an update to an application an "admin" has to sign in.
That, of course, involves a password.

But that has nothing to do with Adobe Reader download, installer or Reader use.
It is completely a thing of the OS configuration. 

Be well...
