• Now, the “Forget password” page should appear on your screen. Here, you need to enter your Roku email address. 

Note: If you see the “Welcome” page instead of “Forget password” then it suggests that you are already logged in. In this case, you must sign-out and visit roku.com/password/reset again. 

• Click on the “Submit” button. Then, Roku will send a password recovery email to the email address you have entered in the last step.

• The password your Roku account must include at least 8 characters. 
• Include a smart mix of numbers, symbols, lowercase and uppercase letters within your password. 
• Avoid using the same password for multiple services. The main demerit of doing this is if your Roku account is hacked then your other services accounts may also get compromised. 
• Remember, you must try to make your password easy to remember but difficult to guess. That’s why it is not a smart idea to use information like your nickname, date of birth in a password. 
•  Do not use common keyword patterns like “abcdef”, “qwerty”, “abcd1234”, etc.
