## Definitions

### `rip.pds.account.resetPassword`

**Type**: `procedure`

Issue a new password for an account the calling account owns. The old password is not recoverable and is replaced outright. Existing sessions on the account are not revoked.

#### Input

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `did` | `string` (did) | Yes | The account to issue a new password for. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `account` | `ref` → `rip.pds.account.defs#accountView` | Yes |  |
| `password` | `string` | Yes | Shown once. The server does not store it in a recoverable form, so losing this means resetting again. |
| `pdsEndpoint` | `string` (uri) | Yes |  |

#### Errors

- **AccountNotFound**: No live account with that DID was minted by the caller.
- **ResetFailed**: The PDS refused the change.
