How do I change my cPanel / DirectAdmin account password?

24 0 0

The security of your account is a priority. We recommend that you change your password periodically or as soon as you suspect that it has been compromised. You can do this by two main methods.

Method 1: From the TicketHelp Client Area (Recommended)

This method works even if you forgot your current control panel password.

  1. Log in to TicketHelp Portal.

  2. Go to Services -> My Services section.

  3. Click on the active hosting product (ex: WebHelp NVMe).

  4. In the left menu, look for the option Change Password (Change Password).

  5. Enter the new password, confirm it and press Save Changes.

    • The system will automatically synchronize the new password with the hosting server.


Method 2: Directly from the Control Panel

In cPanel:

  1. Log in to cPanel.

  2. In the upper right corner, click on your profile icon (or username) and choose Password & Security.

  3. Enter the old password, then the new one (use the "Password Generator" button for a strong password).

  4. Click on Change your password now!.

In DirectAdmin:

  1. Log in to DirectAdmin.

  2. In the top menu or on the right, click on your user and choose Password Management.

  3. Enter your current and new password.

  4. Make sure the "Control Panel" option is checked.

  5. Press Submit.


Tips for a strong password

To protect your data, make sure your password:

  • It has at least 12-16 characters.

  • Include uppercase, lowercase, digits and symbols (ex: !, @, #, $).

  • Does not contain your name, domain name, or common dictionary words.

  • It is unique (do not use the same password you have for your personal email).

Caution: After changing the password, if you have FTP clients (like FileZilla) or auto-connected applications, you will need to update the password in the settings of those programs as well to avoid the server Firewall blocking the IP due to failed attempts.
