I am unable to create a password for my account. I need this because a file shared with me requiring a complex password. 

Hi Trudy, 


Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 


To setup a password for your Box account, 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!
