# Reset password

> Users can reset their password through the terminal of the Plane application. You need to login to backend docker container and run the below command for resetting a user's password.

1. Get the container id for **plane-api**.
   ```bash theme={null}
   docker ps
   ```

2. Log in to the container.
   ```bash theme={null}
   docker exec -it <container_id> /bin/sh
   ```

3. Run the reset password command.
   ```bash theme={null}
   python manage.py reset_password <email>
   ```

<Tip>
  The email should be of an already existing user on the Plane application. If the email is not attached to any user the command will throw an error.
