Forgot Password
If you have lost or forgotten your StartOS master password, there are two ways to reset it.
From a signed-in device
If any of your devices still has a signed-in StartOS session, go to System > Change Password on that device and set a new password. Your current password is not required — see Change Password.
By reinstalling
If no device is still signed in, you can reset your password by reinstalling StartOS while preserving your data.
- Download and flash the latest version of StartOS, using the appropriate installation guide for your hardware.
- Visit http://start.local.
- When selecting your data drive, select Keep my data.
- Create a new password and complete setup. All your previous addresses and data will be preserved.
