# customers/reset\_password

The `customers/reset_password` template renders the password reset page, which hosts the form to reset the password for a [customer account](https://help.shopify.com/manual/customers/customer-accounts).

Tip

Refer to the [customers/reset\_password template](https://github.com/Shopify/dawn/blob/main/templates/customers/reset_password.json) and its [main section](https://github.com/Shopify/dawn/blob/main/sections/main-reset-password.liquid) in Dawn for an example implementation.

## Location

The `customers/reset_password` template is located in the `templates` > `customers` directory of the theme:

```text
└── theme
  ├── layout
  ├── templates
  |   └── customers
  |     ├── reset_password.json
  |     ...
  ...
```

***

## Content

You should include the [password reset form](#the-password-reset-form) in your `customers/account` template or a section inside of the template.

Tip

If you're using a JSON template, then any HTML or Liquid code needs to be included in a [section](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/sections) that's referenced by the template.

### The password reset form

The password reset form can be added with the Liquid [`form` tag](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/tags/form#form-reset_customer_password) and accompanying `'reset_customer_password'` parameter. Within the form tag block, you need to include the following:

| Input | `type` | `name` |
| - | - | - |
| Password | `password` | `customer[password]` |
| Password confirmation | `password` | `customer[password_confirmation]` |

For example:

```liquid
{%- form 'reset_customer_password' -%}
  {{ form.errors | default_errors }}


  <div className="password">
    <input
      type="password"
      name="customer[password]"
      id="password"
    />
    <label htmlFor="password">Password</label>
  </div>


  <div className="password_confirm">
    <input
      type="password"
      name="customer[password_confirmation]"
      id="password_confirmation"
    />
    <label htmlFor="password_confirmation">Confirm password</label>
  </div>


  <button>Reset password</button>
{%- endform -%}
```
