  2. Navigate to the PREFERENCES section and click on Password & Security.
  3. Provide the following:
    • Old Password: Type the current password in this field.
    • New Password: Type a new secure password in this field.
    • New Password (Again): Type the same new password in this field.

VPS server hosting: If you do not know the root password, you will need to contact the Arvixe support team to have this reset. This root password will allow you access to Web Hosting Manager (WHM) and secure shell (SSH) for Linux plans or and Remote Desktop (RDP) for Windows VPS plans. From there, you will have access to reset individual control panel passwords and other passwords.
