Go to the login page

When you find yourself unable to access your account due to a forgotten password, the first step of the password reset process is to go to the login page. This is usually the page where you normally enter your username and password to log into your account.

Once you are on the login page, you will need to locate the “Forgot password” link. This link is usually located below the login form or somewhere near the login button. Clicking on this link will initiate the password reset process.

Enter your email address

After clicking on the “Forgot password” link, you will be redirected to a new page or a pop-up window where you will need to enter your email address. Make sure to enter the email address associated with your account, as this is where the password reset instructions will be sent.

Double-check that you have entered the correct email address to ensure that you receive the password reset instructions without any issues. Once you have entered your email address, click on the “Submit” or “Reset password” button to proceed.

Check your email for a password reset link

After submitting your email address, it's time to check your inbox for an email from the website or service you are trying to access. This email should contain a password reset link that will allow you to create a new password for your account.

Keep an eye on your spam or junk folder as well, as sometimes automated emails can get filtered out incorrectly. Once you locate the email, click on the password reset link provided in the message.

Enter a new password

After clicking on the password reset link, you will be taken to a new page or a form where you can enter a new password. Choose a strong and unique password that is difficult for others to guess. Remember to follow any password requirements provided, such as including uppercase letters, numbers, or special characters.

Take your time to create a password that you can easily remember but is also secure. Avoid using common passwords or personal information that others may know or guess.

Confirm your new password

Once you have entered your new password, you will usually be required to confirm it. This ensures that you have entered the password correctly and helps prevent any typos or mistakes. Enter your new password again in the confirmation field provided on the page.

Make sure both the new password and the confirmation match exactly. If they don't match, you will need to re-enter the passwords until they match.

Save your new password

After confirming your new password, it's crucial to save it securely. Consider using a password manager tool or writing it down in a safe and secure location. It's always a good idea to have a backup of your passwords in case you forget them in the future.

Remember not to save your passwords in easily accessible places, such as a sticky note on your computer monitor, as this can compromise the security of your accounts.

Login with your new password

With your new password successfully saved, you can now proceed to log into your account. Return to the login page and enter your username or email address, followed by the newly created password.

If you encounter any issues during the login process, make sure to double-check that you have entered the correct password. If necessary, you can repeat the password reset process to create a new password.

Congratulations! You have now successfully reset your password and regained access to your account. Ensure the security of your account by keeping your login credentials confidential and regularly updating your password.
