Alert box wording [duplicate]

Question

What do you think would be a good alternative word to 'Cancel' on an alert box. An example message is:

You are about to change your password, press confirm to change or cancel to ...

Then I have 'Cancel' and 'Confirm Change' buttons.

I don't want to repeat the word 'Cancel'.. so what would be a good alternative. revoke, abandon or abort? What does anyone think?

My question is different. The default action is not 'Cancel' it's just one of the buttons on the dialogue box. — Dorothy Kerrin Ryan, Aug 5 '14 at 14:27

You are about to change your password.

Press 'confirm' to change or 'cancel' to leave your password unchanged.
