# Setting Up the Reset Password Page

The **Reset Password Page** allows learners to securely reset their password if they forget it. Setting up this page ensures users always have a smooth way back into your courses.

#### Creating the Page

1. From your WordPress dashboard, go to **Pages > Add New**.
2. Give the page a title (e.g., *Reset Password*).
3. Click the **“+” button** in the top-left corner of the editor.
4. Type **Reset** in the search bar.
5. Select or drag the **LearnDash Reset Password block** onto the page.

At this point, you can add additional elements such as instructions, branding, or helpful links.

#### Publishing the Page

Once you’ve added the block and customized the page:

- Click **Publish** to make the page live.

#### Linking the Page in LearnDash Settings

1. Return to **LearnDash LMS > Settings**.
2. Click the **Registration and Login** tab.
3. Locate the **Reset Password Page** dropdown and select your new page.
4. Click **Save** to confirm.

### Why This Matters

Without a reset password page, learners who forget their login details may get stuck and drop out of your course. Adding this page ensures a **seamless, frustration-free experience** that keeps learners engaged.

> **Tip:** Add a short reassurance message at the top of the page like *“Forgot your password? No problem—reset it below.”* to make the process friendlier.
