# Reset Password

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/authentication/reset-pwd/) now.

After the successful registration of a user, you can reset the password using the following code snippet. While calling
the `resetPassword()` method, a reset password link will be generated and sent to the user's Email address. The `userManagement` reference used in the below code snippet is the [component instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/nodejs/v2/cloud-scale/authentication/get-component-instance). 

> **Note: **

* **EmailID** and **Platform type** are the mandatory attributes.

* You can configure the sender's email address, subject and the email message. You must add the email address in the [Catalyst Mail Component](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/mail/email-configuration/) and get it verified before using it in the SDK code.

### Create a Configuration JSON

JSON objects containing the registration details of a particular user is created as given below,

```javascript
//Create Config Object for the user 
const signupConfig = { platform_type: 'web', zaid: 10014774358, template_details: {
'senders_mail':'dogogetu@tutuapp.bid',
'subject':'Welcome to %APP_NAME% ',
'message':'<p>Hello ,</p> <p>Follow this link to join in %APP_NAME% .</p> <p><a href=\'%LINK%\'>%LINK%</a></p> <p>If you didn’t ask to join the application, you can ignore this email.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Your %APP_NAME% team</p>'
} }; 
var userConfig = { first_name: 'A', last_name: 'B', email_id: 'amelia.burrows@zylker.com' };
```

### Reset the Password

These objects are passed as arguments to the `registerUser()` method which returns a promise.

The promise returned will be resolved to an object which is a JSON.

```javascript
const userManagement = app.userManagement();
let users = await userManagement.resetPassword('amelia.b@zylker.com', {
  'platform_type': 'web',
  'redirect_url': 'https://www.google.com',
  'template_details': {
    'subject': 'Reset Password',
    'message': 'Click on the link to reset your password: <a href="{{reset_password_url}}">Reset Password</a>',
    'senders_mail': 'support@zylker.com'
  }
});
console.log(users);
```
