# Appliance Manager Password Reset The Appliance Manager is accessed at https\://\:9002/ If you have forgotten your password, reset it using the **Forgot Password?** link on the login page. Resetting the password requires the Device ID, a UUID stored on the server at `/data/exavault/secrets/device.key`. To retrieve this value, log in via your VM console or via SSH and run: ``` cat /data/exavault/secrets/device.key ``` Once you have the UUID, use the **Forgot Password?** link on the login page. When prompted for the device's ID, paste the value and submit it. This process is also the only way to change the Appliance Manager password. Use the same process for password changes, even when you know the current password. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
