# Reboot Instance

To reboot an instance, there are two types of reboot available: **Soft Reboot** and **Hard Reboot**. **Soft Reboot** is used to restart the VM system gracefully by stopping all running processes one by one. **Hard Reboot** is used to force restart the system when the instance is not responding.

* To access **Soft Reboot** and **Hard Reboot**, click the **Power** menu. This option can be found in the **Reboot** section.

* To restart the VM system by stopping all running processes one by one, click the **Soft Reboot** button. To force restart the VM system, click the **Hard Reboot** button.
