I forgot my control panel (cPanel) password. What do I do?

Option 1:
-----------
You can retrieve your control panel (cPanel) password by visiting:

https://yourdomain.com:2083/resetpass/?user=username

For example, if your domain is 'johndoe.com' and username is 'john', then the link to your password retrieval should be:

https://johndoe.com:2083/resetpass/?user=john

For security reasons, a password validation email will be sent to the Contact E-mail you maintained in your control panel (cPanel). Once you receive the validation email, click on the validation link in the email to reset your password.

*** Common Mistakes ***

Q: I visited https://yourdomain.com:2083/resetpass/?user=username but didn't get any email.
-----------
A: That's because you did not change 'yourdomain.com' and 'username' to your own account's. See the above example once again.

Q: No, I changed those correctly before visiting the link but still no password validation email.
-----------
A: If you don't receive your password validation email after 30 minutes, it means you either don't have any email address specified in your control panel (cPanel) Contact E-mail field or that the email address is invalid. In this case, proceed to Option 2.


Option 2:
-----------
If you are unable to retrieve your password using Option 1, please submit a ticket to our Support Department detailing the following information for verification:

- Domain name of account;
- Login email and password of your Client Area

Please allow 24 hours for the Support Department to verify and respond to your request.
