# Forget lock password

If you forget your lock password or passcode, you can regain access by signing out and signing back in with your UpNote account password. The steps differ slightly between desktop and mobile.

2. If you forget your login password:
   * Click **Sign out** on the lock screen.
   * Reset your login password by following the instructions in the [Reset Password](/get-started/manage-your-account/reset-password.md) article.\
