Resetting cPanel Password

When you are successfully logged into a cPanel Dashboard, first and foremost, change the password of your cPanel account.

This is very important, so that the security of cPanel remains intact. Nobody would want their website to be hacked.

To change your cPanel Password, follow these steps −

Step 1 − In cPanel Home, click the profile button located in the top right corner of the dashboard.

Step 2 − Click Password & Security option. You will find Change Password Interface.
