This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to change your WHM password. Remember to keep your password in a safe place. Although you can change the passwords for any account in your WHM from WHM, you cannot retrieve a lost WHM password. If you lose it, you’ll have to contact your reseller plan provider to have it reset or changed
