How do I change my Twitter password? [View all]

I have a Twitter account to be able to read posts on it. Now, I get asked to verify my password, but I can't find the paper where it's written down. When I try to access the "Change My Password" function, I'm asked to enter the lost password first.

Any advice on how to do this without entering the old password? Do I have to take down this account and start a new one?

Thanks for any help.
