# Account Access and Reactivation

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Overview</mark>

If you are unable to access your PayCargo account, the issue may be related to a locked account, a deactivated account, or login credentials. The steps required to restore access depend on the type of issue and whether additional verification is needed.

If you need immediate assistance, PayCargo Support can help review your account status and guide you through the appropriate next steps.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">How it Works:</mark>

#### <i class="fa-lock">:lock:</i> **Locked Account**

A locked account differs from a deactivated account and is often the result of multiple unsuccessful login attempts. To troubleshoot this, follow these steps:

1. Wait a few minutes before attempting to sign in again.
2. If you still cannot access your account, [**contact PayCargo Support**](tel:+1-888-250-7778) for assistance unlocking the account.
3. Once unlocked, you may be required to reset your password before logging in.

#### <i class="fa-key">:key:</i> **Forgotten Password**

If you’ve forgotten your password:

1. Visit the [**PayCargo Password Retrieval**](https://go.paycargo.com/passwordReset) page.
2. Enter your username and registered email address.
3. Follow the instructions sent to your email to reset your password.

For security purposes, you must complete the password reset before accessing your account. Be sure to store your new password securely for future use.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.paycargo.com/general/account-information/account-access-and-reactivation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
