+title: Recover a user password
+description: Learn how to recover your Docker Datacenter credentials
+keywords: docker, ucp, authentication
+---
+
+If you have administrator credentials to UCP, you can reset the password of
+other users.
+
+If that user is being managed using an LDAP service, you need to change the
+user password on that system. If the user account is managed using UCP,
+log in with administrator credentials into the **UCP web UI**, navigate to
+the **User Management** tab, and choose the user you want to change the
+password.
+

+
+If you're an administrator and forgot your password, you can ask other users
+with administrator credentials to change your password.
+If you're the only administrator, use **ssh** to login directly into a manager
+node managed by UCP, and run:
+
+```none
+{% raw %}
+docker exec -it ucp-auth-api enzi \
+  "$(docker inspect --format '{{ index .Args 0 }}' ucp-auth-api)" \
+  passwd -i
+{% endraw %}  
+```
