Default Administrator password in Plesk

I've just created a new domain on my Windows VPS and noticed that the confirmation email was being sent from a majdy_cool_7@yahoo.com.

Went into plesk to check and all the admin identity settings had been changed...

... looks like someone has got into my Plesk - so immediately changed the admin password ...

strange thing is Plesk is ignoring my change! - login to Plesk and RDP still needs the old password, but if I try and change it again I have to put in the new password as the existing one.

I'm sure I'm being stupid but could someone please tell me how to change my Plesk password? the sooner the better would be good as I don't want Mr Majdy Cool having access!!!!!!

Thanks!

only plesk control panel can be changed from Plesk CP. RDP password has to be changed from Virtuozzo or RDP session only.

That's the strange thing ... when I changed the admin password within Plesk i still had to use the old password for Plesk, RDP and Virtuozzo (I tried this a few times and that was definately the case).

When I changed it within Viruozzo then the Plesk and RDP (haven't checked Virtuozzo) were changed - the admin password set in Plesk didn't appear to change any of the admin passwords ... perhaps I'll eventually come across a seldom used admin account (possibly for changing the colour of something) that needs the Plesk admin password!!
