# <a name="Bulk Reset Passwords"></a> Bulk Reset Passwords

The [[TWikiAdminGroup]] can use %TOPIC% to reset any number of passwords. Users whose passwords are reset with this will be sent an e-mail at the address recorded in their home topic (the administrator will **not** be told the new passwords).

<div>
  <form action="http://www.dementia.org/twiki/resetpasswd/%WEB%/%TOPIC%" method="post">
    <table border="0">
      <tr>
        <th colspan="4"> This text will be sent to users in their "reset" e-mail: </th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="4">
          <textarea cols="70" name="Introduction" rows="4" style="width: 99%">
Welcome! The site ready for your use. Please use the login name and password listed below and contact me if you have any questions.
</textarea>
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th colspan="4">
          <p> Click the checkboxes below for the users whose passwords you want to reset: </p>
        </th>
      </tr>
      <tr bgcolor="lightgray">
        <th>WikiName</th>
        <th>Created</th>
        <th>Changed</th>
        <th>Reset</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>
          <h1><a name="TWiki Installation Error"></a> TWiki Installation Error </h1>Incorrect format of searchformat template (missing sections? There should be 4 %SPLIT% tags) </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="center" colspan="4"><input name="action" type="hidden" value="resetPassword" /> <input type="submit" value="Reset selected passwords now" /></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </form>
</div>

**_Note_** if you don't see all the users you expect in the table below, make sure their home topic has an attached [[UserForm]]. This is used to identify users.
