# Reset Passwords
In general, you’ll only need to reset your password if you’ve forgotten it, but there are some instances when resetting your password can help protect the security of your account.
We recommend resetting your password in these cases:
* You notice something suspicious in your CodeScan account.
* You suspect someone you don't trust may have your password.
* We ask you to change your password.
If you have not requested to reset your password and you receive an email asking you to change it, it could be a case of phishing. Instead of clicking on a suspect link in an email, log into your account to reset your password there.
### Reset Account Password
Follow these steps to reset your password:
1. Navigate to your instance's URL, for example, [*https://app.codescan.io/*](https://app.codescan.io/) for **US** region, [*https://app-eu.codescan.io/*](https://app-eu.codescan.io/) for **EU** region or [*https://app-aus.codescan.io/*](https://app-aus.codescan.io/) for **AUS** region.
2. From the login screen, click the **`Don't remember your password?`** button.
3. Enter the **`email address`** you used to create your CodeScan account.
4. Click **`Send Email`**, and an email will be sent to your address with recovery instructions.
5. Check your inbox for a password reset email.
6. Click on the **`URL`** provided in the email and enter a new password.
**Password Requirements:**
* New passwords must meet the following criteria:
* MUST contain at least 8 characters (10+ recommended)
* MUST contain at least one uppercase letter (A-Z)
* MUST contain at least one lowercase letter (a-z)
* MUST contain at least one number (0-9)
* MUST contain at least one special character (such as !, %, @, <, >, # and so on)
* MUST NOT contain an email address, first, middle or last name, or commonly used passwords
* MUST NOT be one of the 13 previously used passwords
#### Troubleshooting
**No Email Received?**
If you don't see the email in your inbox:
* Check your **spam/junk** folder
* Try to **reset your password** again
* If that still does not work, contact the CodeScan Support Team at [support@autorabit.com](https://mailto:support@autorabit.com/).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://knowledgebase.autorabit.com/product-guides/codescan/getting-started/users-roles-and-permissions/reset-the-password.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
