When I created my user account in Uplink, I misunderstood what it was for and actually used a password that I use for other accounts. When I started playing again, I noticed that password was visible in plaintext right at the login screen.
I've looked around the options menus, but found no way to change your account password. Is it impossible, or just well hidden?
After searching, I have found no way to change your password from anywhere within the game.
There are no external tools to change the password other than hexediting the actual save files.
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.
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.
~/.uplink/ as NAME.usr and NAME.tmp (replace NAME with your profile name, obviously)./Program Files/Uplink/User/ or something similar.
