## Reset Web Password
Please follow these steps to create a new password for your user account:
AdGuard Home stores password as a BCrypt-encoded hash.
1. Install `htpasswd`, which is a part of *Apache2 Web Server*:
Here's what you need to do to change the password:
* Ubuntu:
1. Stop AdGuard Home
2. Edit `AdGuardHome.yaml`
3. Find `password` field there
4. Replace it with the new value. You can use `htpasswd` tool or any online BCrypt generation tool (there are many available online).
5. Start AdGuard Home
sudo apt-get install apache2
* Fedora:
sudo dnf install apache2
* Windows:
Choose a download option from https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/platform/windows.html#down, extract the downloaded file into a new directory, open a terminal, navigate to its `bin` directory with `cd` command and run `.\Htpasswd`.
Other versions of `htpasswd` could be used, but **only** if they support *bcrypt* hash encryption, which rules out e.g. most web-hosted `htpasswd` generators.
2. Use `htpasswd` utility to generate a new hash:
* Ubuntu/Fedora:
htpasswd -B -n -b <USERNAME> <PASSWORD>
* Windows:
.\Htpasswd -B -n -b <USERNAME> <PASSWORD>
It will print `<USERNAME>:<HASH>` to the terminal.
3. Open `AdGuardHome.yaml` in the text editor:
sudo <EDITOR> ./AdGuardHome.yaml
4. In the `users:` section find your user name and set `<HASH>` value for the `password` setting:
users:
- name: ...
password: <HASH>
5. Save the file, restart AGH. Now you'll be able to log in to Web interface using your new password.
Now you'll be able to log in to Web interface using your new password.
