Resetting Your Configuration in the Assistant

Resetting your configuration changes the RescueTime account (email address) connected to the RescueTime Assistant. To complete the process, you will be asked to enter your RescueTime email and password. Before you begin, sign out of your account on the RescueTime website.

2. Click the gear icon and choose Settings.    
3. Click the Troubleshooting button in the General tab.



4. Click the Open Diagnostics button on macOS and Diagnostics button on Windows.



5. Click the Reset Configuration button. 
6. You'll be asked to confirm this option. Click OK.
7. You will be prompted to sign in by the Assistant. Click the Sign in button, which will take you to the RescueTime website to sign in.                                                         

   Note—if you are not prompted to sign in by the Assistant, right-click the RescueTime icon, choose "Quit RescueTime," and restart the Assistant.

8. After signing in on the website click Activate Assistant. This will connect your account to the RescueTime Assistant.
