Overview
This interface allows you to change the root users password. You do not need to use the old password.
We strongly recommend that you use a secure password. A secure password is not a dictionary word, and it contains the following:
-
Uppercase and lowercase letters.
-
Numbers.
-
Symbols.
How to change your root password
To change the root users password, perform the following steps:
-
Enter a new password in the New root Password text box. You can also click Generate.
-
Enter the same password in the Confirm Password text box.
-
Click Change Password.
Password strength
A green password Strength meter will show you whether you meet the minimum requirements. 0 indicates a weak password, while 100 indicates a very secure password. You can set the minimum password strength for the root user with the System/cPanel Accounts setting in WHMs Password Strength Configuration interface (WHM » Home » Security Center » Password Strength Configuration).
