Please only use this *ResetPassword* form in case you really forgot your password. Otherwise just change it using ChangePassword. Thank you.

<form name="passwd" action="%SCRIPTURL%/installpasswd%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%MAINWEB%/%HOMETOPIC%" method="post">
|  Your %TWIKIWEB%.WikiName: | <input type="text" name="username" value="" size="40" /> =<font color="red">**</font>= |
|  New password: | <input type="password" name="password" size="40" /> =<font color="red">**</font>= |
|  Retype new password: | <input type="password" name="passwordA" size="40" /> =<font color="red">**</font>= |
|  &nbsp;<input type="hidden" name="TopicName" value="%TOPIC%" /> <input type="hidden" name="installPasswd" value="requestReset" /> | <input type="submit" value=" Request password reset " /> &nbsp;&nbsp; (Fields marked =<Font color="red">**</font>= are required) |
</form>

After submitting this form you will see a page with your *new password* appearing *encrypted*.

You will have to e-mail this information to the Wiki webmaster, %WIKIWEBMASTER%, who will set your account to use the new password.

__Note to administrator:__ The reset password form applies only if TWiki uses Basic Authentication, e.g. a =.htpassword= file managed by TWiki. It does not apply if you are using external authentication, such as an IT managed password system. (remove this note if you are using Basic Authentication; replace this topic with a note describing how to reset the password in your organization)
