Dear Box Support Team,


I am currently using a free account and have encountered an issue when attempting to set a password. Since no password has been set for the account yet, I tried to input a new password through the "Change Password" section. However, I am receiving an error modal stating "There was a problem changing your password" and I am unable to set a new password.


Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?


Thank you for your help.


Best regards, Sho

Hi Sho, 


Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 


To setup your password, you can follow this process:


  1. Visit https://app.box.com/reset and enter the email address associated with your Box account.

  2. Check your email, you will receive an email with a link to reset your password.

    • Password reset links sent via email expire 3 hours after they are sent. If you need a new link after your current one has expired, visit https://app.box.com/reset to have another link emailed to you.

    • If you do not receive an email from Box for this password reset, check to see if your Box account is associated with that specific email address or another email address.

    • Also, check your spam folder in your email client for this email.

Thanks for posting!
