# I forgot my CodeGrade username / password

{% hint style="warning" %}
This guide only applies to you when you use CodeGrade as a stand alone tool. Your account management is done in your LMS if you use CodeGrade through Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, Sakai or Open edX!
{% endhint %}

#### Follow the steps below to recover your CodeGrade username:

Your CodeGrade username was probably manually set when registering your account or enrolling to your course. Luckily, we have sent you an email with your username to confirm your registration. Please find this email and also check your spam folder.

If you cannot find this email anymore, please reach out to your instructor, who should be able to find a full list with all usernames in their course in CodeGrade.

#### Follow the steps below to recover your CodeGrade password:

To recover your CodeGrade password, you do need to know your username. If you do, navigate to CodeGrade and press the "**Forgot password**" link.

![Click the "Forgot password" link.](/files/OLsO8Ai1V0tPOJbYZGDk)

Afterwards, fill in your CodeGrade username (please note, this is a username that could be different from your LMS username or student email address). And press **Request email**.

![Fill in your username and press "Request email".](/files/bU4gkkMewZTCjjyByUGX)

You will now get an email to the email address linked to your CodeGrade account, which includes a link that will allow you to set up a new password for your account.

{% hint style="success" %}
CodeGrade recommends you to generate a secure password for your account and use one of the many secure password managers to store it.
{% endhint %}

## 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://help.codegrade.com/for-students/getting-started/i-forgot-my-codegrade-username-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.
