@virginmedia.com email account inaccessible

I have a virginmedia.com email account as a secondary account,  main is ntlworld.com this  main account can be accessed via 'My Virginmedia' web page.  I am setting up my phone to get my virginmedia.com emails, but all passwords I use are saying incorrect.   The virginmedia.com email account is still active as I get emails into my outlook on my pc, but the password is hidden.

Previously I could log in to 'My Virginmedia' using my virginmedia.com account but now it just won't accept this email address.  Late last year I changed my password to the new multi-word format which worked then. 

How do I check/change my password on my virginmedia.com email account?

My name is NOT Alessandro. That's just a tag Virginmedia sticks on some contributors. Please ignore it.

Thanks, If I try to login with my name@virginmedia.com email I get   'Sorry, you can’t change your sign in details to a @virginmedia.com email address, please choose a different email.'

further testing...  on my work phone I downloaded an email app and have used this to get my name@virginmedia.com emails....  with the 'multi word' password.   

So immediate issue has gone away.... however if I need to change the name@virginmedia.com email password how do I do that?

Your MyVirginmedia account now has to use a non Virginmedia email address
