## Step-by-Step Password Reset

  <Step title="Log into the Client Portal">
    Visit the [FlashRDP Client Area](https://billing.flashrdp.com/clientarea.php?action=productdetails) and log into your account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Your Service">
    Locate the server you want to reset the password for and ensure its status shows as **Active** or **Complete**.

    Click on the service to open its management page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Trigger the Password Reset">
    In the server management panel, click the **Reset Server Password** button.

    <Info>
      This process communicates directly with our KVM hypervisors to inject a new password at the root/Administrator level. It does not delete or modify your existing files.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Check Your Email">
    Wait approximately **1 to 2 minutes**. A newly generated, highly secure password will be delivered directly to your registered email address.

      If you don't see the email after 2 minutes, check your Spam or Junk folder.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Will resetting my password delete my data?" icon="hard-drive">
    **No.** Resetting your password only updates the login credentials for the `Administrator` (Windows) or `root` (Linux) account. Your files, software, and configurations remain perfectly intact.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I reset my password but still can't log in?" icon="triangle-exclamation">
    If the new password isn't working, your IP address might be temporarily blocked by the server's firewall due to too many failed login attempts. You can use the **VNC Console** in your server panel to bypass the firewall and log in directly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does this work for both Windows and Linux?" icon="server">
    **Yes.** The automated password reset feature works seamlessly across all our supported operating systems, including Windows Server 2019/2022, Ubuntu, Debian, and AlmaLinux.
