# Resetting a forgotten password (local Geoprism Registry credentials)

If you forgot your password, you can reset it from the login page. This only works for accounts that log in with a Geoprism Registry password, not through an external system.

1. On the Geoprism Registry login page, click **Forgot password?** below the username and password fields.
