It is not recommended to use the **<admin@hideez.com>** account for password recovery, as you will not be able to recover a forgotten password via email. [Create your own account](https://enterprise.hideez.com/hideez-enterprise-server/administration/adding-an-admin-account) with a valid email address for this purpose.
