# 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.

Once a user has been successfully registered, you can reset their password using the following code snippet. When the
the `forgotPassword()` method is called, a reset password link will be generated and sent to the user's email address.
Only the user's email address is a mandatory attribute. The `userManagement` reference used in the code snippet below is the [ component instance.](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/web/v4/cloud-scale/authentication/get-comp-instance)

JSON objects containing the registration details of a particular user are created as follows:

```javascript
//Create an object with the details such as email Id, platform and redirect url
var data = {
"email_id": "amelia.burrows@zylker.com",
"platform_type": "web",
"redirect_url": "https://catalyst.zoho.com"
};

```

This object is passed as an argument to the `forgotPassword()` method.

> **Note : **
The promise returned will be resolved to an object in which the content key contains a confirmation message.

```javascript
//Reset password by passing the details. This in turn returns a promise.
var userManagement = catalyst.userManagement;
var forgotPromise = userManagement.forgotPassword(data);
forgotPromise
.then((response) => {
    console.log(response.content);
})
.catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
});

```
