Technically, you can use any block explorer but that's not what you want to do, unless you want to try out the feature.
Simply fill in https://blockstream.info/ to use that block explorer, but you will leak privacy doing that.
## I forgot my password, how can i reset it!
Check the .specter-folder in your Homefolder (or on your mynode/raspiblitz/...). There is a file called `config.json` in there which has a line like this:
```
"auth":"somethingInHere"
```
Depending on "what's written in `somethingInHere`:
* If it's `rpcpasswordaspin`, you can lookup the password in your `bitcoin.conf`-file in a line like `rpcpassword=YourPasswordHere`
* If it's `usernamepassword`, you won't be able to recover the password but you can deactivate it by setting it to `none`
* If it's `none` (or you just set it to `none`) you can login without any password. So hurry up with setting it again within specter.
