## Common questions

### What happens if I forget a local Pulse password?

Pulse does not provide an email password-reset flow. If the instance uses local username and password authentication, recovery requires shell access to the Pulse host or container and deployment-specific steps.

### What does Pulse Pro add over community installations?

Pulse Pro adds investigation and policy-bound fixes with approval, verification, and an audit trail.

### Can Pulse Patrol use a local model or my own AI provider?

Yes. Community installations can use a local model or their own AI provider for watch-only analysis.

### Are agent commands enabled by default?

No. Agent commands are disabled by default.

### Should I choose an exact version during setup?

The quick start says to choose an exact version from the latest release.
