# Unlocking Encrypted Profiles
|
|
|
|
When you restart Cwtch, if you used a [password](/docs/profiles/change-password/) to protect your profile, it will not be loaded by default, and you will need to unlock it.
|
|
|
|
1. Press the pink unlock icon <img src="/img/lock_open-24px.webp" className="ui-button" alt="unlock icon" />
|
|
2. Input your password
|
|
3. Click “unlock your profile”
|
