Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: If I forget my old master password, can I reset it on my phone?A1: No. If you have completely forgotten your master password, the MT4 App itself does not provide a reset function. You will need to contact your broker directly and go through their official website's backend channels to reset the password.
Q2: Will changing the master password affect the investor password?
A2: No. The master password and the investor password are independent. Changing the master password will not have any effect on the investor password you have previously set.
Q3: Why is there no response or an error appears after I tap "Change"?
A3: The most common reasons are either entering the "Current Password" incorrectly, or the content entered in the "New Password" and "Confirm Again" fields do not match. Please check carefully and try again.
