    Passwords are hashed with 7500 rounds of sha256crypt. This is pretty good, but certainly not beyond attack. Note that even though SHA-256 is used here, sha256crypt is different enough from Bitcoin's SHA-256d PoW algorithm that Bitcoin mining ASICs almost certainly cannot be modified to crack forum passwords.

    How much does the password need to be changed, whould it be enough to change a letter or two.
    Or would it be better to make a brand new long and complicated password.
    Reason I ask is that it take some time to memories a long complicated password,
    if only added or removing something will the learning time for the new password decrease.

    no, make a fresh, and new password.

    if you have issues remembering all passwords - check out KeePass 2 - it's a open source password vault. you only need one master password
