Help Change password?

I changed my gmail and hotmail passwords recently and cannot figure out how to change it on my phone. After looking through both the email settings and the synced account settings and not being able to find it, I tried to delete my hotmail email so I could re-add it with the correct log-in information. Now it isn't in my synced accounts list, but when I click the "email" app it still shows the account. Regardless, I STILL can't get my emails because the passwords are both still wrong. How do I change it?!
 
I don't see a "more" option when I open the app. If I open the @email app, my menu options are refresh, compose, folders, accounts, account settings, sort. And there's nothing in account or account settings about changing the password.

In the gmail app, my menu options are refresh, compose, accounts, view lables, search, settings. And again, there's nothing in the settings about changing a password.

so I tried to upgrade to froyo and after it failed twice I decided to take it into the Verizon store. They tried and it (obviously) failed do they did a factory reset and it failed again so they determined that my phone is defective and are sending me a replacement. I'm hoping getting a new phone will solve some of the other issues I was having, because otherwise I am going to root. Wish me luck!!
