What Should I Do If I Forgot My Password?

Resetting the Password of an IAM User

If you are an IAM user and have not bound an email address or mobile number, you cannot change the password by yourself. You need to contact the administrator to reset your password.

1. On the HUAWEI ID login page, click IAM User. On the displayed login page, click Forgot Password.

   • Account: Created upon successful registration with Huawei Cloud. The account has full access permissions for all of its cloud services and resources and makes payments for the use of these resources. After account login, you will see the account marked Enterprise administrator on the Users page.
   • IAM user: Created using your account. IAM users can log in to Huawei Cloud using the account name, username, and password, and then use resources based on assigned permissions. IAM users do not own resources and cannot make payments.
   • If you are an IAM user and have not bound an email address or mobile phone number to your account, ask the administrator to reset your password. For details, see Changing the Login Password of an IAM User.
