The fastest way to reset your password
Go to the Roblox login page at roblox.com/login. Below the password field, click "Forgot Password or Username?" You will be taken to a page asking for your username or email address. Enter whichever one you remember, then click "Continue." Roblox will send a password reset link to the email address on file with your account — check your inbox and spam folder both.
Click the link in that email. You will see a page with two password fields. Type your new password in both fields, making sure they match exactly. Click "Reset Password." You should see a message saying your password has been changed. Go back to the login page and sign in with your username and your new password.
The entire process usually takes less than five minutes if you have access to your email. If you do not receive the reset email within a few minutes, wait ten more minutes and check your spam folder — reset emails sometimes get caught there by mistake.
Key Takeaways
- The password reset link goes to the email address tied to your Roblox account, so you must be able to access that email to proceed.
- Roblox sends the reset link when ready, but check your spam folder if it does not show up in your inbox within a few minutes.
- Your new password must be entered the same way twice before Roblox will accept it.
- Once you reset your password, you can sign in right away — there is no waiting period.
What to do if you cannot access your email
If you no longer have access to the email address on your account, you cannot use the standard password reset. Instead, go to roblox.com/login and click "Forgot Password or Username?" Enter your username, then look for a link or button that says "Can't access this email?" or "Try another way." This takes you to Roblox's account recovery form.
On the recovery form, you will need to answer security questions you set up when you created your account, or provide other information Roblox asks for — such as the date you created the account, or the last password you remember using. Answer as accurately as you can. Roblox reviews your answers and, if they match their records, will either let you change your email address first or send a reset link to a new email you provide.
This process can take a few hours to a few days because a person at Roblox reviews your answers rather than an automatic system. Be patient and check your email — including spam — for messages from Roblox asking for more information.
Creating a strong new password
When you reset your password, Roblox requires at least eight characters. A strong password includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — for example, "BlueSky#2024River" is stronger than "bluesky2024." Avoid using your username, your real name, or words from the dictionary on their own.
Do not reuse a password you have used on other websites or games. If someone gets your password for one site, they will try it on others. A password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password can generate and store a unique password for Roblox so you do not have to remember it.
Protecting your account after resetting your password
After you reset your password, turn on two-factor authentication if Roblox offers it. This means that even if someone learns your password, they cannot sign in without a code from your phone or email. To set this up, go to your account settings on Roblox, find the security section, and follow the steps to enable two-factor authentication.
Check your account email address in settings and make sure it is still one you can access. If you have not logged into Roblox in a while, change your password again — old passwords are easier for attackers to guess or steal. If you think someone else has been using your account, change your password when ready and review your account activity to see if anything looks wrong.
Why you might not receive the reset email
The most common reason is that the email went to your spam or junk folder. Search your email for "roblox" or "password" to find it. If you still cannot find it, wait a full ten minutes — sometimes email takes longer to arrive than you expect.
If you entered the wrong email address when you created your account, Roblox will send the reset link there instead of to your current email. This is why the account recovery form exists — it lets you prove you own the account even if you cannot access the old email. If you have tried the recovery form and Roblox is not responding, you can contact Roblox support through their help center at en.help.roblox.com.
What to do if you remember your password but want to change it anyway
You do not need to forget your password to change it. Sign into your account normally, then go to Settings (the gear icon in the top right). Click "Security" or "Account" depending on your device. Look for an option that says "Change Password" or "Password." Enter your current password, then type your new password twice, and click "Save" or "Confirm."
This method is faster than the reset process because you do not have to wait for an email. Use it whenever you want to update your password for any reason — whether you think it might be compromised, you want something stronger, or you straightforward want a fresh one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to reset my Roblox password?
If you have access to your email, the reset takes five to ten minutes. If you use the account recovery form because you cannot access your email, Roblox may take a few hours to a few days to review your answers and respond.
Can I reset my password on the Roblox app instead of the website?
Yes. On the app, tap "Forgot Password or Username?" on the login screen. The process is the same — you will receive an email with a reset link that you click to create a new password.
What if I reset my password but still cannot sign in?
Wait a few minutes — sometimes it takes a moment for the new password to work across all Roblox servers. If it still does not work, try resetting again. If you keep getting an error, contact Roblox support at en.help.roblox.com and describe what error message you see.
Will resetting my password delete my games or items?
No. Resetting your password only changes how you sign in. Your account, games, items, and Robux all stay exactly as they were.
Can someone else reset my password if they know my email?
No. Roblox sends the reset link only to the email address on your account, and only you should have access to that email. If you think someone has your email password, change that password first, then reset your Roblox password.
