# Resetting Your HWID

Your Hardware ID (HWID) ties your account to your machine, which helps prevent unauthorized account sharing. If you've changed hardware or need to move to a new machine, you can reset it from your dashboard.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**HWID resets are limited to once every 7 days per account.** This limit discourages account sharing and protects the integrity of our service. Make sure you're on the right machine before you reset.
{% endhint %}
