Reset password

Updated: 08/02/2019 by Computer Hope

Reset password is invalidating the current password for an account on a website, service, or device, and then creating a new one. A password may be reset using the settings of the software or service, or by contacting the customer service department.

If you need your password reset, most services have a "forgot password" service that e-mails you a link when you request to reset the password on the website. If your e-mail address is no longer valid, or the service is not a Computer Hope service, contact the company responsible for the service of the forgotten password.

Note

The reset password feature is for your account and not to be used as a method of accessing someone else's account or hacking another account.
