Thank you for contacting efiling Unit.

you can reset the password using digital signature.

From 28.09.2013, you can reset the password using even the new digital signature.

IT department sends the passwords to the registered email id of the user. Your password may have been sent to your email id registered at the time of registration. Pl check your email.

If you send details to validate @ income tax .gov., then the new password will go to the registered mail id.

If we dont have the details as per the requirement of Forgot password,

then the only option is to take digital signature & change the password
