How to Reset Your GMC Infotainment Password
"Password" can mean a few different things on a modern GMC: your connected services account password, a profile PIN on the infotainment system, or your built-in WiFi hotspot password. Each is reset in a different place, so identifying which one you actually need helps you find the right fix quickly.

Connected Services Account Password
If you've forgotten the password for your GMC connected services account (used to log into the companion app or web portal), use the "Forgot Password" link on the app or website's login screen, which sends a reset link to your registered email address.
Infotainment Profile PIN
Some GMC infotainment systems let you set up a PIN to protect a personalized driver profile's settings. If you've forgotten this PIN, check under Settings, then a Profiles or Users submenu, for a reset option; some systems may require confirming your identity through the connected services account instead.
WiFi Hotspot Password
Your vehicle's built-in WiFi hotspot password can be viewed and changed directly from Settings, then a WiFi Hotspot or Connections submenu, without needing any special reset process — this screen typically displays the current network name and password, or lets you set a new one.
Quick Reference Table
| What You Forgot | Where To Reset It |

| Connected services account password | "Forgot Password" on app/website login |
| Infotainment profile PIN | Settings > Profiles/Users |
| WiFi hotspot password | Settings > WiFi Hotspot/Connections |
Frequently Asked Questions
Will resetting my account password affect my saved vehicle settings?
No — an account password reset only changes your login credentials and doesn't affect any settings, presets, or paired devices stored on the vehicle itself.
What if I don't receive the password reset email?
Check your spam or junk folder first, and confirm you're using the same email address originally registered to your connected services account; if it still doesn't arrive, contacting GMC customer support directly can help.
Can I remove a profile PIN entirely instead of just resetting it?
Many systems allow disabling profile PIN protection entirely through the same Profiles or Users settings menu, if you'd prefer not to use one going forward.
Does changing my hotspot password affect connected devices?
Yes — any device connected with the old password will need to be reconnected using the new one, since most devices don't automatically pick up a changed password.
