good morning my problem is the following this is my code

```auto
 const changePassword = () => {
    const url =
      "https://dev-elbuensabor.us.auth0.com/dbconnections/change_password";
    const clientId = "";
  
    const data = {
      client_id: clientId,
      email: "",
      connection: "Username-Password-Authentication",
    };
    fetch(url, {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(data),
    })
      .then((response) => response.json())
      .then((data) => {
        console.log(data);
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.error(error);
      });
  };

```

When I go I want to give my password change button. It gives me a 404 error.  
or  
act\_devtools\_backend\_compact.js:2367 SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘W’, “We’ve just”… is not valid JSON

Hey @hugo127sanchez, the Authentication API [/dbconnections/change\_password](https://auth0.com/docs/api/authentication?http#change-password) endpoint does not return a JSON response - you should be able to fix your function by changing `response.json()` to `response.text()`.

The response you should see in your console.log afterwards is: `We've just sent you an email to reset your password.`

Hope this helps!
