# Manage your password

The change password form can be found in [user preferences](/documentation/readme-1-1/preferences.md).

You must enter and confirm your password before validation. The administrator can disable this feature, so the change password area does not appear in this case.

In the event that the user has forgotten their password, the possibility of resetting it is offered to them from the login page. **The link is only present if notifications are enabled**.

Only users with an e-mail address defined in GLPI and not authenticating via an external source (LDAP, mail server, etc.) can use this functionality. Once the renewal request has been made by entering their e-mail address, the user receives an e-mail providing them with a link allowing them to reset their password.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you use an external authentication source (such as LDAP, SSO, etc.), please reset your password from your identity provider.
{% endhint %}

Passwords must follow the defined security policy. A real-time check of the entered password is then carried out.

See the [security configuration tab](/documentation/modules/configuration/general/security.md).

## 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/readme-1-1/manage-your-password.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
