# How to unlock my account or reset my password

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

If you are unable to access your PayCargo account due to a forgotten password or repeated failed login attempts, you can restore access using PayCargo’s self-service tools or by contacting the Support Team.

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

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.paycargo.com/general/account-information/how-to-unlock-my-account-or-reset-my-password.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
