Staff user passwords can be changed from within a staff user profile, or reset directly from the Ghost Admin login area.

## Change your Password

If you know your current password, you can log in to Ghost Admin, and go directly to the **Settings → General → Staff** area, and select your staff user profile.

To change your password, click **Change password**, then enter your old password, followed by entering your new password, and verifying.

When finished, click **Change password.** 

Once updated, you will need to use the new password to log in to Ghost Admin going forward. 

## Resetting your password

If you've forgotten your password, you can reset your password directly from the login area of Ghost Admin, e.g. by going to `https://<subdomain>.ghost.io/ghost/` in your browser.

To reset your password, enter your staff user email address and click **Forgot?**

Clicking **Forgot?** will trigger a password reset email to your inbox, that contains a link that must be clicked in order to reset the password. 

Once reset, you can login to Ghost Admin with your email address and new password.
