As described in the [Your Master Password]({% link _articles/account/master-password.md %}) article, Bitwarden has no knowledge of, way to retrieve, or way to reset your Master Password.
|
|
|
|
If you've already lost your Master Password, there is unfortunately no way for the team to recover the account or the data therein. You will need to delete your account and start a new one.
|
|
|
|
{% callout success %}
|
|
Before deleting your account:
|
|
|
|
**First**, use the [Get master password hint](https://vault.bitwarden.com/#/hint){:target="\_blank"} link if you have a hint setup. Hints will be emailed to the email address associated with your account. If you don't have a hint setup, you'll get an email reporting this.
|
|
|
|
**Second**, if you're using any Bitwarden client applications (Mobile Apps, Browser Extensions, etc.), you should check whether any of these sessions are still logged in prior to deleting your account. If a client application is still logged in, you should manually catalogue your Vault items to preserve your data.
|
|
{% endcallout %}
|
|
|
|
If you weren't able to gain access to your Vault, complete the following steps to delete your account:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to [vault.bitwarden.com/#/recover-delete](https://vault.bitwarden.com/#/recover-delete).
|
|
2. Enter the **Email Address** associated with your account and select **Submit**.
|
|
3. In your email inbox, open the email and verify that you want to delete this Bitwarden account.
|
|
|
|
Once deleted, you're free to create a new Bitwarden account with that email address. If you delete a Bitwarden account that has a Premium subscription associated with it, [Contact Us](https://bitwarden.com/contact/){:target="\_blank"} and we'll reapply your existing subscription to the new account.
