This guide explains how to change the root password for your Virtual Server or Dedicated Server.
Follow the steps below-
- Login to WHM using your old Username and Password.
- Select the “Server Configuration” option and click on the “Change Root Password.”
- Enter the new password you would like to use.
- If you wish to use a generated password for your operations please click on “Password Generator” in the screen above and save the password because once it is set as final password there is no way to recover it. To use the generated password check the box or else you can use your own password.
- Choose a strong password in case you like to enter the password of your choice as it will help you protect against any brute force attack in which an attacker tries to log in to your server by trying multiple passwords. After setting up the password, click “Change Password.”
- Your password is now changed. Use your new password to log in the next time to your server.
