# How can I generate a new SIP password?

In this article, you will learn how to generate a new SIP password for your VoIP phones. This is important to ensure the security of your devices and to prevent misuse by third parties. We recommend changing the password at regular intervals.

**Changing the SIP password as an administrator**

If you are an administrator, first open the **account management**. There, click on **User** and select the desired users. This will take you to the overview where you can make changes.

**Changing the SIP password as a user**

As a user, log in to your **sipgate user interface** and in the left navigation, find the item **Telephony**. Click on it to go to the device settings.

**Further steps**

Once you are in the device overview, proceed as follows:

* In the top bar, you will see the **device overview**.
* Click on the desired phone. A window with the device information will open.
* To the right of the SIP password there is a **gear icon**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.sipgate.de/cloud-telefonanlage/en/account-management/vertrage-rechnungen-und-preise/wie-kann-ich-ein-neues-sip-passwort-generieren.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
