# Managing User Passwords

The examples in this section use REST API resources to manage user passwords, such as setting or resetting passwords.

-   **[Manage User Passwords](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/api-rest/guide/dome-sobject-user-password.md)**  


    Use the sObject User Password resource to set, reset, or get information about a user password. Use the HTTP GET method to get password expiration status, the HTTP POST method to set the password, and the HTTP DELETE method to reset the password.
