Changing the password for a user account in VestaCP can be done using the control panel itself or by connecting via SSH.

Using Control Panel Tools

This method is suitable if you know the current password of the admin user.

1. Log in to VestaCP as the admin user and navigate to the USER section.

2. Find the desired user and click Edit.

3. Enter a new password and save the changes by clicking Save.

That's it, the password has been successfully changed.

When Using SSH

This method is suitable even if you do not know the current password of the admin user.

1. Connect to the server via SSH using the root account. Login credentials for the root account were sent to you by email after server installation.

ssh root@server-IP-address

2. Execute the following command, specifying the name of the user and the new password.

For example, for the user admin:

v-change-user-password admin new_password

The password has been successfully changed. You can now log into the panel using the new password.
