Q: Home Sharing - How to Start Over with Same ID

My Home Sharing password is not the same as the one associated with my Apple ID and iTunes.   The password I think is correct is not working (can't turn on home sharing on Mac) and I can see my ID on other devices so know it is correct (and the same as my Apple ID).


How can I change my password for home sharing to be used with my current ID if I don't have the original HS password - essentially start over?

iMac (27-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.5)
