How To Change cPanel Credentials
From time to time, you may be required to reset your cPanel password for various reasons — including routine security. You can do that through cPanel or WHM (short for WebHost Manager).
All you need is your root password. If you don’t happen to know yours, you will need to contact your hosting provider to reset it.
Note: Please keep in mind that for security reasons, cPanel support cannot modify end-user login credentials.
Change cPanel Credentials via WHM
Step 1
To log into your WHM interface, enter your website’s IP address or domain name, followed by the 2087 port, into a new browser tab.
Enter your cPanel username and password into the Username and Password fields, respectively, and click Log in.
Note: You can find your admin login details in one of the support tickets in the Vicetemple client area. If you’re not sure where to find them, feel free to send us a message over live chat.
Step 2
Once you are logged in, locate and expand the Account Information group on the left side and click the List Accounts option.
Step 3
Click the + option left of the cPanel account whose password you wish to change. This will reveal a drop-down menu with additional options.
Then, enter your new password into the Change Password field and click the Change button to apply it.
Voilà! You’ve successfully changed your cPanel password.
