Change password
Change password
Here we'll look at how to change passwords on MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5). There are 2 types of passwords for MT4/MT5. A master password for trading, and an investor password for browsing.
To change them, you must first login using the master password. You'll also need the master password when registering the new password. If you forget your master password, you won't be able to change your password on MT4/MT5.
