Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments of this application provide a password resetting method. A user enters first authentication content based on prompts of a first electronic device, and when the first authentication content on the first electronic device matches second authentication content on an associated second electronic device, the first electronic device may allow and prompt the user to reset a lock screen password. The second electronic device is a device that has an association relationship with the first electronic device. Therefore, when forgetting the lock screen password, the user may reset the lock screen password by authenticating the second electronic device. This can effectively avoid a user data loss caused by a need to reset the lock screen password only in a manner similar to factory settings restoration, and also enhance security assurance of the device. In addition, the user authenticates the second electronic device in a manner of entering the authentication content on the first electronic device. This helps the user currently holding the first electronic device perform an operation, and can improve user experience.
