Your cPanel password can be reset from within the Account Management Panel (AMP) or after logging into cPanel. In this guide we will show you how to do both.
Did you know? You can manage multiple cPanel accounts with our Reseller Hosting packages.
Reset Your Password Within AMP
- Log into your AMP
- Click Reset Password.
- The Reset Password page will load, fill in your new password twice and click SUBMIT.
You will then see a message stating Your password has been reset.
Reset Password From cPanel
Please note you must know your current cPanel password to change it in cPanel.- Log into cPanel.
- Click “Password & Security” in the Preferences section.
- You can change your password by filling in the fields and clicking Change your password now!. Be sure to use a strong password.
Way to go! You should now be able to log into your cPanel with your new password.
Did you know? Not all hosting companies provide free access to cPanel. InMotion does and it’s just one of the many features of our various cPanel hosting plans.

how stupid if you can not ant password how the hell do you then do it
You can reset your cPanel password from AMP, even if you don’t know the original password.
Hi John-Paul,
Can I use the SAME pass word for cPanel and AMP or they should have 2 different password?
Thank you
You should always use different passwords for cPanel and AMP. AMP is a much higher ‘level’ of access than cPanel and, to follow security best practices, you never want to use the same password for two accounts– especially when one of those accounts controls the other. This is especially important if you give an employee or a developer cPanel access. There is no software rule stopping you from using the same password, but it’s strongly encouraged that you use a different secure password for each.

I recommend resetting your password via AMP as described above since it does not require you to know the original password.
Thank you,

John, thank you. This was the information I needed. All done! (Until something else crops up…)
I want to give cpanel access to third party/ what is the secure way/ creating account with developers?
There is only one login per cPanel, so you can provide this to your developer, and it is best advised to update the password when the developer no longer requires it.

Couldn’t log back into C-Panel after changing password. My ID changed to something else. I have no clue what . .
I recommend changing your password in AMP, since you do not need to know the original password. You can also view your username in the Account Technical Details section.
Thank you,

is the “support center login” on this page yet something else that needs another username and/or password?
I actually know my cpanel username and password–that is, I have a record of it–but since I can’t login I don’t know which is wrong.
Your cPanel user name and password are not the same as a login for our Support Center. You will need to create an account separately for the Support Center, and login with those credentials instead.
The tutorial on changing my cpanel password shows a field which does not exist in my cpanel window. There is no Change Password field …
There is no Change Password field. There are fields for the new password and then a change password button.

On my reseller account, for a few of the Word Press sites, any change in the cPanel Password results in the site going down, with a message “Cannot connect with database”. Changing it back to what it was before brings the site back up. Why is that, and how can I change the Password for those sites?
cPanel password changes should have no effect on the sites themselves. If it continues, you may want to contact the Live Support to see if they can find out the source of the issue.
hello guys, ca’nt access to my cPanel, from the first day, I always access to there from AMP, today try to made the same, but not workink, then, do try reset the passw from AMP and all ok, the message is that the passw is changed, continue, but when try to login in cPanel again with the new passw, not working.

You should be able to login to cPanel directly without issues.
If your problems persist I recommend contacting Live Support so they can test within your account, or help you reset your cPanel password.

Yes, that is the correct cpanel username format. You may want to check and even reset the cpanel password via the AMP. Failing that, please contact the Live Support team for further assistance as it may be something particular to your account.

How do I reset my password?
I can’t remember my password to get into cpanel

Hello James,
Sorry to hear you’re having problems with your cPanel password. The information provided above is for recovering a cPanel password for an account hosted with InMotion Hosting. If your domain is NOT hosted with us, then you will need to speak with your host in order to determine how to recover you cPanel password. The instructions above for resetting the cPanel password would require that you already be able to login to the cPanel – and the Account Management Panel (AMP) instructions do not apply to non-Inmotion Hosting accounts.
Kindest regards,
Arnel C.
Hello! I tried to login into my cpanel using a password that i’ve created, which is not the same of amp login, but i can’t connect. I’m sure that the password is right, what can i do? I tried to reset password but did not work.
Thank’s
Luca Di Bello
Be sure that you have the correct cPanel username as this would not be the same as AMP. Your username will be listed in AMP within the header for those account options. This will be 7 characters ending with a number.
hello, my website has been hacked, for while now please help me Inmotion…!!\

plz tell me how to reset the website password and Username from Cpanel.
not the cpanel password
Hello Tanveer,
There can be many passwords involved in a website. Which password did you mean? You said not the cPanel website. Did you mean the AMP password by chance? If not, please give a few more details.
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
To reset your password you need to remember the old password… what do I do if I don’t?
what if I don’t know my cPanel password??
Hello Midia,
The section entitled “Reset your Password within AMP” is how you can reset your cPanel password without knowing the current one.
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
We just recently fired another employee. I just want to make sure that person cannot access their old company account without the assistance of our web administrator (via the master cpanel account) Please advise.
Hello Ms. Business Exec,
As this guide explains you can change your cPanel password, which would deny access to anyone that still just had the old password to access the account.
Now take note that you might want to also update your billing and contact info in AMP to ensure your ex-employee doesn’t retain any control over not just your cPanel, but your account with us in general.
We verify accounts with the last 4 digits of the credit card on file, or the original cPanel password of the account. So if this ex-employee knows this information, you can request to update it in your ticket.
