## Reset Password via User Admin Interface

 

Administrators with superuser or user manager permissions can reset passwords for any user through the admin interface at `https://sysreptor.example.com/users/<user-id>/reset-password/`:

1. Log in to SysReptor with an account that has [superuser](/users/user-permissions#superuser) or [user manager permission](/users/user-permissions#user-manager)
2. Navigate to the Users section by clicking on "Users" in the main navigation menu
3. Find and select the user whose password needs to be reset in the user list
4. Click on the "Reset Password" button for that user
5. Set a new password for the user. You can also check "Must change password" to force the user to change their password upon their next login
6. The user can now log in with the new password

## Reset Password via CLI

As a last resort, you can reset your password via the command line.\
Go to `sysreptor/deploy` and run:

```shell
docker compose exec app python3 manage.py changepassword "<username>"
```
