Forgot Password: Admin Account

If an Administrator has forgotten the password to his/her account, other Administrators can be requested to reset the password. It might be safe for Administrators to have other external email addresses linked to their accounts in cases of emergency. In such cases, they can request the password reset link to be sent to their secondary email address and access it from there.

  1. Go to the Zoho Mail login page.
  2. Click the Forgot Password button.
  3. Enter the registered email or mobile number, and the captcha.
  4. You might also have to enter the latest password you remember. If you don't remember any previous passwords, you can also choose to receive an OTP to your registered mobile number or email address.
  5. If you've entered the email address, check your secondary email address and follow the instructions given.
  6. If you've entered your mobile number, check for the verification code, and enter it.
  7. Once done, you will be able to reset your password.

Forgot Password: Super Admin Account

If the Super Administrator of an organization has forgotten the password, it can be reset only by requesting a reset link to the secondary email address or a verification code to the mobile number. Admins cannot reset the password of the Super Admin to ensure better security. 

  1. Go to the Zoho Mail login page.
  2. Click the Forgot Password button and follow the same procedure as above.

Note:

If you are a personal account user and haven't accessed your account for 180 days, your account will be marked inactive and the data will be deleted after providing multiple warnings to the user via their secondary email address. Refer to this page on inactive accounts for more details. If you want to retain your data but forgot your password, follow the same set of steps as above.
