You’re here because: Your speech app is asking for a password, passcode, or PIN before it will let you change its settings, and you can’t remember it. 

Reset Your Password 

Many speech apps have their own way to get past a forgotten password, such as a reset option, a security question, or a master password. 

1. Open your speech app, then go to Settings.  
2. Your speech app will ask for a password. Select Forgot Password or Reset.  
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
4. You’re done! 

Turn Off Passwords 

Some speech apps let you turn off their password from the device’s Settings app. 

1. Open Settings in your Utilities folder. 
2. Scroll down and select Apps. 
3. Select your speech app from the list. 
4. Find the password or passcode setting, then turn it off. The name of this setting is different in each speech app. 
5. Open your speech app and go to its settings. If it doesn’t ask for a password, you’re all set. If your speech app doesn’t have a password setting in the Settings app, try the next section. 

Use a Master Password 

Some speech apps use a Master Password that unlocks your app even if you forgot your password. 

1. If there’s no reset option, or you can’t answer the security question, go to the Speech Apps page, then select your speech app to find its master password.  
2. Enter the master password when your speech app asks for it.
3. Go to your app’s Settings and create a new password.
