How do I change my login password for cPanel?

Firstly, log into cPanel

Find the icon labeled Change Password - this is located at the top under the 'Preferences' tab. Click it.

You will be taken to a new page that
has 3 boxes labeled as:


Old Password:
New Password:
New Password (again):

In the Old Password box, enter the current password you use to login with to cPanel.

Now, in the New Password box enter the new password that you wish to use to login to cPanel with from now on. Re-enter the same password in the New Password (again) box. Now, click the button labeled as Change your password now!

From now on the new password you entered will be what you
use to login to CPanel and FTP.

Protect your password:
Memorize your password, do not write it down
Do not share your password. Create a new account instead
Avoid using one password for all your logins

Don't provide your password to someone for assistance unless you verify:
They need the password
They are who they say they are
Avoid logging in from public computers
Change your password frequently

Tips for choosing a password:
Avoid dictionary words
Avoid familiar items (names, phone number, etc)
Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
Use more characters (7+)
