# indestructibility reset-passwd

This command restores the indestructibility password to its default value. There is a delay until the password restore takes effect. The delay provides additional security in case of a rogue admin using VMS to reset the password. The delay is one day, by default and can be changed using [indestructibility modify](/docs-5-3/docs/en/indestructibility-modify) while the indestructibility mechanism is unlocked.

For more information about indestructibility, see [Indestructible Backups](/docs-5-3/docs/indestructible-backups).
