Resetting a password

Depending on your account, there are two ways that you can reset your password in Sell.

• For Zendesk Sell accounts (that is, if your Sell account was created after January 7, 2020, or has been migrated to Zendesk), see Zendesk Sell accounts: resetting a password
• For Sell Legacy accounts (that is, if your Sell account was created before January 7, 2020, and has not been migrated to Zendesk), see Sell Legacy accounts: resetting your password

For more information about whether you are on a Zendesk Sell or Sell Legacy account, see Understanding account changes for migrated Sell accounts.
