password reset
Account access recovery
A password reset is the process of replacing a forgotten or compromised password with a new one.
Most online services offer a reset option that sends a verification link to your email or phone: I had to do a password reset after getting locked out.
The term also refers to the link or page itself: Check your spam folder for the password reset.
