How to change it

    Log in to the client area and click Manage next to your hosting.

    Your hosting’s page opens.

  2. 2

    Open the DirectAdmin tab.

  3. 3

    Enter a new password in the Password field.

  4. 4

    Click Save changes.

How to know it worked

Done

The new password works right away.

Good to know

  • The DirectAdmin password is separate from the client area password. You log in to DirectAdmin straight from the client area without a password. Log in to DirectAdmin
  • The same password is used for SSH and SFTP.
  • The password can’t be shown afterwards, only changed.
