Reset a Password

Password Recovery Process

Should you need to reset your password, AVideo can assist by sending you a dedicated reset link.

Email Reset

To utilize the email reset option, ensure that you've configured an email server. Instructions for setting up an email server can be found here: Setting up AVideo to send emails.

If you encounter issues receiving the reset link via email, there's an alternative method available, provided you have SSH access.
