====== Resetting an administrator's password ======
As an administrator, your password is critical to be able to access phpList and process campaigns. If you have forgotten the password to your Admin account, you can reset your password from the “login” page. 

To do this, enter the email address you used to create your administrator account. When you have completed the email address field, select **Send Password**.
