The date your password will expire is shown. Change your password before this date to ensure uninterrupted access. Depending on your company configuration, you may be able to reset other users' passwords.

If the Password Admin Managed field is set to No, both you and users can reset your own password, unless the user's email is a public domain (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, etc.).  If it is Yes, or the user's email is a public email domain, then a user's password must be reset by an administrator. See Password Reset FAQs and possible scenarios which would require use of the password reset process.
