(Cloud/Premium/Business Accounts)
Please note: This will only update your cPanel password and will not change your Krystal Client area password.
If you need to update your client area password, you can do so using this guide! (Link opens in a new tab)
If you use a wrong password more than five times within 5 minutes, then you will get blocked by our firewall, so don't try to guess your cPanel password repeatedly.
