# Password Reset

As a System Administrator, you must use the N3uron **Command Line Interface (CLI)** to manage the passwords and two-factor authentication settings.

## Setting a User Password

Use the following commands based on your operating system:

### Windows

To set a new password for a user on a Windows system, open a **PowerShell terminal** and execute the following command:

```powershell
& "C:\Program Files\N3uron\bin\n3uron.exe" user set password <username> <new-password>
```

### Linux

To set a new password for a user on a Linux system, open a **Bash terminal** and execute the following command:

```bash
/opt/n3uron/bin/n3uron user set password <username> <new-password>
```

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Replace **<username>** and **<new-password>** with the actual user account name and the desired new password.

## Expiring a User Password

Expiring a user's password marks it as invalid and forces the user to set a new password upon their next successful login.

Use the following commands based on your operating system:

### Windows

To expire a password for a user on a Windows system, open a **PowerShell terminal** and execute the following command:

```powershell
& "C:\Program Files\N3uron\bin\n3uron.exe" user expire password <username>
```

### Linux

To expire a password for a user on a Linux system, open a **Bash terminal** and execute the following command:

```bash
/opt/n3uron/bin/n3uron user expire password <username>
```

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Replace **<username>** with the actual user account name.

## Resetting Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

If a user loses access to their 2FA authenticator and is unable to log in, the System Administrator can reset the 2FA settings for a specific user to restore access.

### Windows

To reset the 2FA for a user on a Windows system, open a **PowerShell terminal** and execute the following command:

```powershell
& "C:\Program Files\N3uron\bin\n3uron.exe" user reset 2fa local <username>
```

### Linux

To reset the 2FA for a user on a Linux system, open a **Bash terminal** and execute the following command:

```bash
/opt/n3uron/bin/n3uron user reset 2fa local <username>
```

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Replace **<username>** with the actual user account name.
> 
> For LDAP users, set **ldap** instead of **local**
