restore a VPS onto a different server due to a hardware failure. The new VPS is up and running and I can apache is displaying the cPanel WHM login panel ok. So I know the VPS is fine.
However, my WHM username/password are no longer working.
What options do I have resetting the password for the WHM? I have full access to the shell of the VPS (root access).
I use WHM and have a client that lost access to cpanel because the site's owner (an organization) turned over the management of the site to a new person. The previous person never used the site so he forgot the password to get into cpanel and ftp. I can login to the site using my WHM password, but I cannot change his password in cpanel because I don't know the old one. How can reset it?

How to change the Password of my FTP?

I've been running a forum for a while now which of course had a database. Now I sold the vBulletin License and I'd like to delete the database that was created for it. How do I do that?
I've looked throught cPanel, but couldn't find an option on deleting a whole database. Might be looking in the wrong sections or something. Can someone help me out?
It would be even better if it is possible to reset my whole server throught cPanel. Is this possible?
Everyday after Backup Panel (Tasks from Backup Manager), I receive next error:

Resolve -> only reconfigure domain. How can I automatic fix this problem?
today i changed the password for the admin panel for a customer (username eg. mylogin). 10 minutes later he called me and said that he cannot get into his emailaccount anymore. Checked the password and saw that the emailpassword for his emailaddress (eg. mylogin@mydomain.com) is now the same from the admin panel login. So i changed the emailpassword and checked the admin panel login - it now has the emailpassword. What a mess.. I'm running Plesk Panel 11.5.30 MU47.

am having some issues with cpanel's password changing. password of a user changes fine from shell, changes fine from WHM. however no luck in the user's cpanel.
error i get is:
Quote:
There was an error manipulating the password file. This generally means you entered your old password incorrectly.
The following services were updatedif any)
Changing password for user xxxxxxx.
Changing password for xxxxxxx
(current) UNIX password:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
i'm looking into this user's directory, and oddly see that the /etc/<domain>/passwd and shadow and quota files are all 0 bytes. but i can log in with the password i set from whm.
permissions on these 3 files are -rw-r--r-- which seems normal, plus ownership is <username>-mail.
I searched the forum articles but couldn not find specifically what I wanted..
just learning with my dedicated server...
I want to change my cpanel password and ftp password but NOT change the msql server password. I tried to do it in WHM it also changes the database to my website and causes it to go down. (so I changed it back)
I tried to change it under: [URL to actual WHM removed] Password Modification in WHM but it changed the databse program as well.
Again all I want to change is the Cpanel acces and main FTP pass
Im doing this to keep old programmers out of my server)
I need to know in which of this files my emails and their password are saved.
Here are the files I have :
./ access-logs@ .bash_profile .contactemail etc/ .lang mail/ public_html/ www@
../ .bash_logout .bashrc .cpanel/ .htpasswds/ .lastlogin public_ftp/ tmp/
I'm having a problem with a hacker...using insecure scripts on my user's accounts he changes Cpanel passwords. I do not understand how a script running as user nobody would change a Cpanel password. Any ideas on that ?
I am using mod security (rules from gotroot.com), register_globals are disabled. I also disabled the password reset feature as I thought the hacker may be resetting the passwords and then reading the new password from the email account on the server using the insecure script.
Unfortunately this guy simply doesn't stop...he seems to have a reverse DNS list or something. He is only attacking accounts on one specific server of mine but I am pretty sure he doesn't have root access.
Our hosting clients use cpanel to login to their hosting accounts, however, if they have forgotten their passwords they have no option of having the password set to them, instead they have to contact us.
How can we set our cpanel so that they can have the passwords resent to them without haveing to go through us. The cpanel x theme doesnt seem to have this option.
I was wondering if it would be advisable to use the Password Protected Directory option in cPanels to limit part of my website to no more than 1,000 paying customers (yearly subsciption). Can cPanels handle this? Would accessing .htaccess and .htpassword to authenticate be too slow? Would management become too much? Has anyone attempted this? Are there any good alternatives such as open source programs? I've looked and found a few that are expensive and do way more than what I need.
