# Expiring passwords
Instructions on how to reset expiring database passwords
In line with our security policy, passwords linked to the BI Platform database accounts will expire one year after creation. You will receive a notification one month prior to reset your password.
## Steps to renew password
1. In the email you received, you find the username and database for the password that will expire.
2. Log into the Ultimo portal: and click on the BI Platform tile.
3. A new dashboard page is opened. The grid on the left will show you all your current database users. Find the correct username and database from the email and click on the magnifying glass to open that specific user.
4. Press the ''Reset password'- button on the right hand side.\
A pop-up is shown with your password. This password is randomly generated and is not saved in the Customer Portal. This means you really need to write this down; otherwise you have to reset the password in case you forget this.
5. Change password in your BI Platform\
Please wait 5 minutes for the reset password action to be processed on the database. After resetting your password on the failover database, please follow the guide on how to [connect to the database](https://developer.ultimo.net/connectors/bi-platform/connection).

## 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://developer.ultimo.net/connectors/bi-platform/expiring-passwords.md?ask=&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.
