There are times when you will need to change your Cyberpanel password, maybe because you have forgotten your current password or because you just want to update the password.
Needed:
* A server with Cyberpanel installed, whose password you want to change.
* Sudo user SSH access to the server;
-This includes server IP or hostname that resolves to the IP, sudo user like root or any other that you have, ssh password for the user. If the server does not use the default ssh port 22, you will also need to know the custom SSH port. If your server is with Truehost, and you do have forgotten these details, you may reach our support desk for help.
* An SSH client, like terminal which comes already available on Linux systems.
-For windows users, you can use Powershell or install SSH clients like Termius or Putty which can be installed on Windows Systems
