How Can I Reset My Password?

Question

I set up an email account to use only for school but problem is I cant remember what my password is. I can get into my mail because I set it up with my Internet Explorer's mail bar with this account but outside of my Internet Explorer's mail bar I cant get into this account. 
Is there a way I can reset my password to access this email easier?

I have Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.
I'm asking this question with Chrome. 
I'm logged into this other email on Explorer.

Once you're able to change your password it would be a good idea to review your security questions and make changes if you don't remember your answers.

I recommend using a password manager like Keepass or LastPass to create and store strong unique passwords for the sites you visit. You can also save notes like your secret questions and answers to the password entries. LastPass can automatically log you in to any web site you have stored in its database.
