+While you should hopefully be storing your passwords in a password manager, if you lose the password associated with the owner account the only way to resolve this is to delete *all* the authentication data. You do this by shutting down Home Assistant and deleting the following files from the `.storage/` folder in your [configuration folder](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/):

+* `auth`
+* `auth_provider.homeassistant`
+* `onboarding`
+
+When you start Home Assistant next you'll be required to set up authentication again.
