Tag: Password

Thank you for taking the time to review this important information. You will find this guide broken down into six major sections that coincide with Ubuntu’s security policy guide. The major topics we talk on throughout these articles are as follows:

Whether its a hacked site or a lost password, you may find that you are locked out of your WordPress Admin control panel. If you’ve forgotten your password or don’t have access to the email address that the “Lost your password?” link sends to, you still have one more option to access it. Through the database!  WordPress’ database stores all WordPress username, encrypted passwords, and the user’s email address and thus can be edited through a database client like phpMyAdmin. In this tutorial, we’ll be showing you how to edit the email address and change your user’s password.

Managing who has access to your server, and what type of access that person is an important part of server administration. This article will address multiple areas relating to user accounts on the Windows operating system. It assumes your Windows Server is on a “Workstation” and not a part of an Active Directory domain. The process for resetting an Active Directory user account is different and out of scope for this article.

Managing databases on your server is necessary for your website’s ongoing growth and development. Managing the users and their passwords is equally essential.

If your security best practices do not include regular password changes, you are lacking a key factor in keeping your websites and applications secure. At some point, you will need to know how to change your cPanel password. Performing this simple task on a regular basis can prevent headaches from security breaches.

In this article, we denote how to update your servers password in my.liquidweb.com. Liquid Web’s around-the-clock monitoring of your server works best when we also can log in to your server and proactively fix issues as they arise. If you change your server’s root or admin password without updating your account information through manage, then we only will be able to notify you of problems rather than attempting to fix them automatically.
