There may be times where you would like to change the password of your account. It is recommended to change your password at least once a month. It is also recommended to have the password be alpha numeric so it is difficult to guess.

The steps to change your cPanel password are as follows:

Login to the cPanel

Click Change Password

In the box to the right of Old Password, provide your old password.

In the box to right of New Password, provide the new password. This password should contain uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as numbers and non-numeric symbols. (example. aB3#$f^&G*1)

In the box to the right of New Password (again), provide the password once again for verification.

Click the Change your password button.

You have now just changed your password. Before you proceed, you will be prompted to log back into cPanel.

How can I make a stronger password?

Password Selection

It is important to have a password that is easy to remember, but hard to guess.

Hackers can guess your password if it is a name or word from the dictionary.
The best password will contain the following:

At least two Capital letters
At least one lower-case letter
At least one number
At least two symbols

Writing down your password is the most common security risk.
But imagining and then remembering such a password can be difficult.

Ok, here is how to make great passwords.

Start with a really simple word or name at least 6 letters long. I will use my name: hostgator

Change two letters to symbols that looks similar. Use $ for s, @ for a, ! for i, and so on: ho$tg@tor

Change a letter to a number that looks similar. Use 1 for l, 0 for o, 8 for b, and so on: ho$tg@t0r

Include two Capital letters, like this: Ho$tG@t0r

Great! Now you have a password that is easy to remember, but hard to guess.

It is acceptable to make a few different passwords and reuse them for different sites and devices. Just be sure that you don't reuse your most important passwords.
