Server Configuration 

Change Root Password 

Overview 

You should change your server root password occasionally to maximize your site 

security. You should always change this password if you think someone else has 

access to your WebHost Manager account. 

NOTE: Do not give out your root password to anyone that does not absolutely 

need it. If you are to give out your route password to cPanel, or other staff, 

please verify their e mail address before you give them the password.
