After searching, I have found no way to change your password from anywhere within the game.

The save files are REDSHRT2-encrypted, which can (and has) been broken, but finding a (working) tool to do it may be annoying and/or fruitless.

For the moment, I'm going to say it's not worth your time to try and change it, especially if it's a valuable password. Just delete and start again.

I'll edit this answer once I find a way to break REDSHRT2 and hexedit the save files.

By the way, Uplink doesn't delete your save files when you retire an agent, it merely moves them to a "deleted" directory, so if you're very concerned, you should delete them manually.

• On Linux your save files are located in ~/.uplink/ as NAME.usr and NAME.tmp (replace NAME with your profile name, obviously).
• On Windows they should be located in /Program Files/Uplink/User/ or something similar.
• I don't know where they might be on Mac.

There are no external tools to change the password other than hexediting the actual save files.
