# Change master password

{% hint style="warning" %}
In order to change your password, you will need to remember the current password. 

You can't change the password if you forgot it. Check out [this article](/main/extension-user-guide/account-security/manage-master-password/forgot-master-password.md) if you forgot your password.
{% endhint %}

**Step 1**: Open the SubWallet extension and click on the <img src="/files/Fa0WkuZAMjnP5zVvAdmq" alt="" data-size="line"> icon at the top left corner to get to the Settings section.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure your master password is **well-kept**.

SubWallet is non-custodial, so you are the only person who knows your password; we can't help you restore it once it is lost.

## 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://docs.subwallet.app/main/extension-user-guide/account-security/manage-master-password/change-master-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.
