# User Self Service Center

The **User Self Service Center** is the place where you can manage your **Disroot** account settings.

Log in with your **Disroot** username and password.

## Change your password
![](en/change_pass.png)<br>
Click on this option to change your current password.

Follow the password creation rules and enter the new one twice.

![](en/change_pass_02.png)<br>
Once you've changed your password you will need to make sure to change your encryption key in the **Cloud**, since all your files in **Nextcloud** are encrypted with a key that is generated from your password.

1. Go to **[https://cloud.disroot.org](https://cloud.disroot.org)** and log in with your new password.
You will see a yellow message on top of the page:<br>

![](en/invalid_pk.png)<br>
    `Invalid private key for Encryption App. Please update your private key password in your personal settings to recover access to your encrypted files.`

2. Click on your name in the top right corner and select **Personal** from the menu.

3. Scroll down to **Basic Encryption Module** and type in your old password and your new password and click **Update Private Key Password**.

4. Log out of **Nextcloud** and log back in and that's it, you're all set and can view your file again.

|:--:|
|If you lose your password, you won't be able to retrieve your files on the cloud as they're encrypted, so even the server administrators can't see their content. |


## Setup Security Questions
