# Force Reprovision

> Recover stuck resources by forcing a clean reprovision

Force Reprovision is a recovery tool for resources that are stuck or in a bad state. It tears down the application deployment and re-runs the full provisioning pipeline.

## When to use

Use Force Reprovision when:

* Your resource shows **Running** but the Coder dashboard is inaccessible
* A previous upgrade or provisioning partially failed
* Standard retry doesn't resolve the issue

<Warning>
  Force Reprovision is a recovery operation. Only use it when other options have failed.
</Warning>

## What happens

**Preserved** (your data is safe):

* Your database (all Coder data: workspaces, templates, users)
* DNS records
* Existing workspace data

**Recreated** (rebuilt from scratch):

* The Coder application deployment
* Ingress and routing configuration
* Admin setup

The Coder instance restarts with the same database, so all your workspaces, templates, and users are intact after reprovisioning.

## How to force reprovision

1. Navigate to the resource's detail page
2. Click **Force Reprovision** in the actions menu
3. Type the **resource name** to confirm
4. Click **Confirm**

The resource enters **Provisioning** state while the deployment is rebuilt. This typically takes **2-5 minutes**.

<Info>
  Force Reprovision requires the **owner** role in the organization.
</Info>

## After reprovisioning

Once complete:

* The resource returns to **Running** status
* Admin credentials remain the same
* All workspaces and templates are preserved
* Users can sign in immediately

If the reprovision fails, check the **Events** tab for details and contact support.
