# Appliance Manager Password Reset

The Appliance Manager is accessed at https\://\<your-appliance-ip-or-hostname>:9002/

If you have forgotten your password, you may reset it using the *Forgot Password?* link on the login page.

In order to reset the password, you will be asked for the Device ID.  The Device ID is a UUID value that is stored on the server, located at  `/data/exavault/secrets/device.key`&#x20;

To retrieve this value, login via your VM console or via SSH and type:

```
cat /data/exavault/secrets/device.key
```

Once you have the UUID value, you may now update the password by using the *Forgot Password?* on the login page. A prompt will appear requesting the device's ID to proceed, paste the value and select *Submit*.

This process is also the only way to change the Appliance Manager password.  Please use the same process described above for password changes, even if you do know the password.
