# Request user password reset token

> Use this endpoint to generate a password reset token for a user.

POST/users/auth/resetpassword

Use this endpoint to generate a password reset token for a user. Send a `POST` request to the `/users/auth/resetpassword` endpoint and include the user's email address in [JSON](http://www.json.org/) format in the body of the request. This request generates and sends an email message containing the `user_token` and `password_reset_token` to the user's email address. You must customize the email message with a link that passes the `user_token` and `password_reset_token` to a web page where a subsequent request updates the password.

A successful request returns an empty response body with a response code of `204 No Content`.
