# Changing the administration password

You may want to change your administrator password for security reason or because you forgot it.

If you forgot your password or are unable to connect using the `admin` user, you
may still be able to change the password if you're able to login as `root` on
SSH (from your local network! or using a rescue mode if you're on a VPS...)

## Using the web administration interface

First, connect to your [web administration](/admin).

Then go to Tools > Change administration password.


## Using the command line interface


```bash
yunohost tools adminpw
```
