# Magento Admin Reset Password: Common Bugs and Fixes
Password recovery for the Magento admin panel often encounters several issues caused by a few bugs. Here's a concise overview and their solutions:
**Password reset link includes an extra path**
The URL contains an unnecessary `/admin` segment after the main domain, e.g.:
`http://magento.local/admin/admin_123456/admin/auth/resetpassword/key/xxxxxxxxxx/?id=1&token=yyyyyyyy`
Solution: Apply the patch suggested in [this comment](https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/35667#issuecomment-1943505361).
Note: This issue exists in Magento 2.4.6 but has been fixed in version 2.4.7.
**Missing password reset form**
This issue is documented [here](https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/13349). After upgrading Magento, the form might disappear, even with all custom modules disabled. A patch is needed to resolve this

Add this into composer.json:
```php
"extra": {

"composer-exit-on-patch-failure": true,
"patches": {
"magento/module-user": {
"Reset password form for admin": "patches/composer/admin_password_reset_form.patch",
}
}
},
```
**Expired password reset link**
Modifying the form block leads to the error: "Your password reset link has expired." This occurs because the token is not added to the form.

**Missing 'id' parameter**
Sometimes the password reset link leads to an "expired link" message due to a missing `id` parameter in the file:
