# Manage my password
The password change form is located in the [user preferences](/documentation/12-en/readme-1-1/preferences.md).
User settings
You must enter and confirm your password before validation. The administrator can disable this feature, in which case the password change area will not appear.
Change password
If the user has forgotten their password, they are offered the option to reset it from the login page. **The link is only present if notifications are enabled**.
Only users with an email address defined in GLPI and who do not authenticate via an external source (LDAP, mail server, etc.) can use this feature. Once the renewal request is made by entering their email address, the user receives an email providing a link to reset their password.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you are using an external authentication source (such as LDAP, SSO, etc.), please reset your password from your identity provider.
{% endhint %}
Passwords must comply with the defined security policy. A real-time check of the entered password is then performed.
See the [security configuration](/documentation/12-en/setup/general/security.md) tab.

## 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.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.glpi-project.org/documentation/12-en/manage-my-preferences/manage-my-password.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
