How to change "Master Password" of KeePass2 Database?

By Abigail Rogers

I am wondering how to change the main database password that contains all my passwords in KeePass2. Figure 1 below shows what I am trying to describe. I think I could do this without help but wanted someone to explain it to me before I tried it and potentially lost all my passwords. I looked on the website for KeePass2 and did not see any tutorials on this. This is surprising to me as it implies that everyone will keep the same database password for as long as they use the KeePass2 software. Maybe this is not a big mystery for other people though as it is for me.
