### Example:


```
$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
if (isset($token)) { // Login as a bot
    $MadelineProto->bot_login($token);
}
if (isset($number)) { // Login as a user
    $sentCode = $MadelineProto->phone_login($number);
    echo 'Enter the code you received: ';
    $code = '';
    for ($x = 0; $x < $sentCode['type']['length']; $x++) {
        $code .= fgetc(STDIN);
    }
    $MadelineProto->complete_phone_login($code);
}

$Bool = $MadelineProto->account->setPassword(['current_password_hash' => bytes, 'new_salt' => bytes, 'new_password_hash' => bytes, 'hint' => string, ]);
```

Or, if you're into Lua:

```
Bool = account.setPassword({current_password_hash=bytes, new_salt=bytes, new_password_hash=bytes, hint=string, })
```
